Foxes

I like foxes. I like most animals. In fact I quite possibly do not dislike any animal. I live in a town and have lived in a big city. In both cases the urban foxes has been a welcome sight, a relief to know that in some tiny slither of urban jungle there is still, a small population of these beautiful creatures seeking out a desperate existence.

Yesterday I came across one of the most disturbing images I had seen for a long time. I will not repost it here. The link for the page is here at Sky News.

It shows the depravity of some people. We come across many disturbing images in our lifetimes. I remember the time while walking my dog several years ago that I came across a suitcase by the edge of a lake. The suitcase had burst open and inside lay a long cold, wet adult Staffordshire Bull Terrier. It made me sick. Another was the awful burning incident in Birmingham a few years back. The bastards responsible have never been caught. They tied and then torched alive a Staffie. Who knows what their motivation was. Perhaps it was fun. Perhaps the dog had misbehaved and in their pathetic mind this was the suitable punishment. It is an image I wish I had never come across. It haunts me to this day. There is a website devoted to trying to find those responsible. I will not post a link here. You can search for it in google if you really wish to see those images.
