smerchly Posted June 21 Report Share Posted June 21 In the Standard today ....foxes terrorising a neighbourhood . People want them removed and the Humane Society hasn't the permit to relocate them & the mayor says live with them . The goverment is determined to keep increasing the population in Niagara , etc., building more housing in the countryside . It's all about money as usual . Many people are leaving big cities like T.O. & will gladly pay cash for a million dollar home "in the country" . Animals have no where to go when they cut down the trees and the government does not do " environment preservation" The animals will disappear as we keep encroaching on their previous territory . I would rather see them build hundreds of high rise apartments , replacing the old decrepit buildings in cities ....at a reasonable affordable price . Beware of skunks , many have rabies now. https://www.stcatharinesstandard.ca/news/niagara-region/2022/06/21/foxes-terrorizing-niagara-falls-neighbourhood-resident-says.html?rf NiagaraRiverFisher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Hooksets Posted June 21 Report Share Posted June 21 My neighbourhood has had foxes in it for years and I live in the city (Stoney Creek). I’ve witnessed multiple litters now. They have made homes under porches, sheds etc. I don’t have a problem with them but others do….people with dogs/cats etc. Last summer I peeled someone’s cat out of the mouth of a fox 😳. I see a fox pretty much daily here and up until about 2020 I had never saw one around. Here’s one from this March staring at my daughter waving to it through the winter. smerchly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxes however do have a short lifespan 4ish years I believe. I want to say the ones I always see are the ones from previous years as well.

genec Posted June 21 Report Share Posted June 21 We have a young fox in our neighbourhood. Saw it trotting down sidewalk twice in a week during the day. i like seeing them around because I know there won’t be any mice around with the fox present. People need to learn that cats are INDOOR pets, and should NOT BE LET OUTSIDE because they kill for fun, and kill far more small birds and animals than a fox! fishingking, Captain Hooksets, smerchly and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We licence our dogs , walk them on a leash while cats roam free to kill the birds & get into garbage . Maybe a big firecracker might persuade the cats to stay home .....

Markster Posted Wednesday at 12:54 AM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 12:54 AM I would love to have foxes in our neighborhood as they prey on mice and rats pretty heavily. Where you have coyotes you have no fox, and vis versa. Much better to have a fox around than a yote. smerchly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
