That is quite amusing ... including the comments.

There was the case of the Robin in the garden centre feeding on crumbs in the cafe - they got the exterminators in and then suffered a backlash from customers who actually liked having the Robin there ...

I agree and it is interesting how people (from all walks of life/backgrounds) are at least voicing their views and protesting about the killing of wildlife in this country. Social networking is the place of protest and politicians/councillors are unable to control it. Protest like this often leads to active protest on the ground.

In any event this fox family have come to the attention of the public locally/nationally/internationally and their lives depend on it. The Fox has no voice. People power may continue to protect them from the decision makers who wish to see them killed. We will see what happens in the coming hours/days.
