It's weird though, isn't it?

If a neighbour's dog craps in your garden you can go to the police, and they will tell the neighbour to control the dog. If the neighbour's cat craps in your garden you're supposed to put up with it because 'that's what cats do'. At the end of the day, they're both pets, and I don't see why the owner's responsibility for the nuisance their pets cause should be different for cats and dogs. The argument that it's a 'wild' animal just doesn't wash. It's your pet, and you decided to let it loose on the neighbourhood when you could have decided to keep it indoors (despite the things stinking up the house).

We got through a fortune trying different cat deterrents until we found one that worked.

Scarecrow

I wish I had a cat problem to justify getting one

I just wish I had neighbours that didn't think that just because they are up and about at 7/8 AM on a weekend, it's alright to mow the lawn,DIY,talk loudly to their neighbour/dog/child/mobile phone.

Of course, the fox in that photo is almost certainly dead ... i.e. someone has killed it for your entertainment.

Yet another person bitten

Wow, it left a "gaping wound" on the end of her finger. This is worse than a Daily Heil story.

It left the wound on her arm, near her wrist. Most people don't have fingers that near their wrists.

Well if she'd had them there they'd probably have been lost..

Seriously though, it does seem rather more serious than a 'gaping wound on the end of her finger'. I'd say that was a gaping understatement.

There's no mention of a finger anywhere in the article.

The fox clamped onto Mrs Adams's left arm, just below her elbow, and ripped off a chunk of flesh about the width of a two-pence coin and about an inch deep.
Doctors told her she was to return to the hospital every day to have the wound assessed and her dressings changed.
But, two days later, after the wound had not improved, she was referred to the Royal Cornwall Hospital at Truro to see a plastic surgeon and underwent four hours of surgery on Thursday.

Here is the Fail's version of the story - terrible writing (loved the picture of a fox, in case anyone didn't know what one looked like...)

If it bit her on the finger, that is one helluva elastoplast.....

Osem · 04-02-2011, 15:20

Yup, not a finger wound at all really....

Ironic that a post inferring the usual tabloid lies/exaggeration should itself be so misleading eh?...

Perhaps the Star isn't as bad as the Mail after all....

Perhaps having your goolies ripped off with pliers isn't as bad as having them sawn off......
