Chicken killers caught ( girls don't look)

[Gemini2544]

I have had my chickens vanishing. Yes, I locked up my chooks at night.

I thought I had a fox you will soon see I had a pack.

Greenies don't even start These monsters were bought here from England & are killing all our native wild life & birds.

A dead Fox is a good thing.

For the City folk, I know you love your lamb but did you know Foxes rip the tounge out of baby lambs, leaving them to bleed to death.

Brutle but true.

Foxes, Rabbits, Sparrows & Starling are England curse & a crime to Australia.

Your thoughts on this is welcome. :question:

I am sorry for the reality of the photo but this is the REAL world.

They're a pest along with all the other feral animals ruining our native fauna and flora.

Nice job Doug ... those prix are responsible for 4 of my best ducks in a 1 month period and they are penned as well as housed. Im now trying to incubate some eggs to hopefully replace them.
How long did that take you ??

Oh well 4 less to aid population ... ya got my vote mate.

[Gemini2544]

Jeff, That was only 2 hours work at midnight. However I can also report a farmer 10 km from me went on a rampage last week and killed 35 in one night. Seems to hardly make a dent with them, they breed so damned fast.

[Garyh]

Poor Easter bunny! No eggs this year!
Must admit there numbers are going up lately, both bunnies and foxes!

[jjjnettie]

I'd wear a fox fur coat.
I hate crows for brutalising new born sheep. Nature can be cruel.

[Gemini2544]

Hi Garth,
I guess mummy hasn't told you yet! LOL

Since the mighty Goverment of Australia took away the Bounty on FOXES the bas^#@ are out of control.

[Omaroo]

Yep - good on you Doug. These *******s get to young goats and sheep in and around my place near Cooma too.

To top them off, I've also got a major rabbit warren problem on one of my main fence lines on a creek boundary.

Rabbits and foxes - thanks England. :rolleyes: All very sporting.

[Gemini2544]

Nettie If I wore a FOX coat a Stupid ilinformed GREENIE would throw ink or paint at the coat so I wouldn't ware it.

[jjjnettie]

We still have bounties here in QLD.
$10 fox
$30 dingo

It's serious business.
There's a lady land owner around here who was fixing her fences when she saw one wild dog, then two, then three, then she got in her car before the rest of the pack turned up. She would have been dog meat if she'd stayed.

[Gemini2544]

Nettie in Victoria the bounty is no more. Stupid.

We also have feral cats. I'm just glad I have a few guns as if the Greenie had their way we would all be gunless and the ferals animals would run wild.

Doug you have done well mate.

Understand what you're all saying, but this is one of my all-time favourite wildlife photos:

[JimmyH155]

Start up fox hunting over here in Oz, I say.:D Might as well have a bit of fun whilst polishing them off eh what???
Riding to hounds, Gadzooks, what fun:thumbsup::thumbsup:
I remember one Boxing Day hunt I attended in Blighty, and after they had passed around the stirrup cup a few times, the Master of Hounds (the local Magistrate and pork pie factory owner, ) got on one side of his horse, and promptly fell off the other:lol::lol::lol:
Those were the days

[Gemini2544]

All very nice but NOT a local photo is it.

I have nothing against Foxes personally, My ***** is they don't belong here & the wild life that does belong CAN'T deal with them.

[Gemini2544]

Jimmy that's English hunting sport we Don't do that here.

We are protecting our livestock. Nothing more.

[Shep]

Nawww and I just watched Fantastic Mr Fox too............ (I should have known better than to look, especially when it said Don't look Girls!

[Gemini2544]

Sarah, Don't LOOK I put that there only for you. I know you love animals.

[Rokketboy]

My dad and I go pig and rabbit shooting regularly, but if we see a fox or wild dog we quickly forget the rabbits and pigs. The only thing that takes precedence over the foxes and wild dogs are the cats. Oh lordy I will happily (and have) stalked one for miles just to get a crack at them. Horrible animals.

[troypiggo]

Totally agree on all counts.

[Gemini2544]

Rokketboy you are an ACE. I'm the same, I pinged a fox but didn't close the deal. I tracked it for two km only to discover it was now following me. Got the b#$%#@ in the end. If more people had you attitude we would not have this problem.
Cudos to you.

Should we include these on our list

"It is becoming clear that some domestic cats are persistent hunters while others may be more opportunistic. The majority of cats will attack small ground dwelling birds such as the beautiful blue wren. Once common, the blue wren is now rare in places where cats dominate.
Small night animals are also hunted if cats are left to roam after dark. These include feathertail gliders, sugargliders, pigmy possums, ringtail possums, baby brush tail possums, bandicoots and small bats"

There are more than 2,600,000 domestic cats in Australia and a recent survey showed that the average domestic cat brings home 16 mammals, 8 birds and 8 reptiles a year. Some more, some less. It is estimated that domestic1 cats kill 3.8 million native Australian animals each year.

That’s a lot of native wildlife falling victim to the family cat! Feral cats are also a huge problem when it comes to wildlife. It is estimated that there are 12 million feral cats across Australia, many of which were once someone’s pet until they were dumped or ran away.

and this the major reason I don't own a cat

[Gemini2544]

Cats, Wild dogs, Foxes, Panthers ( Halls Gap, Goverment denies it ) Crows, Starlings, Sparrows & the worst of all the dreaded GREENIE.

If we continue to let this go on. We wont have WILDLIFE.

[jjjnettie]

I'm a cat, horse and dog lover, but believe in responsible ownership.
If I had my way there would be compulsory desexing of all domestic animals unless you are a register breeder. We must stop all indiscriminate breeding.
The people too should be made to pass a test, prove that they can be responsible owners.
Wouldn't be a bad idea to make prospective parents take a similar test before being allowed to breed.
