In the towns, people encourage the foxes so they have lost their fear of humans, whereas in the country........they know not to get too close.

I herd it on radio 1 news this morning! :-\
What an awful incident! :( poor babies :(
I do think some people don't understand really, even taming a fox or badger etc by feeding them and befriending them, that they are still wild animals and will attack if they want to!!!!

I know and then on the radio they said there are people that leave food out for them!!! i feel for them parents so much, that is the stuff of horror movies and the knock effect is that they will end up moving prbably becasue the safe/settled feeling of their home or that particular house will never return. I know its different but my sister disturbed 2 burglars one day and they ran out of the back door as she came in the front, she just could not live their again and they sold and moved within weeks. Its a cruel additional emotion that will effect these people now

I really feel for that family, I can't imagine how they must feel.

Just seen on BBC News24 that a fox trap was put in the family's garden last night and a fox was caught and destroyed. Hopefully, it was the offending fox. Why can't my trap be as successfull as that?
