View Full Version : Lol importing Foxes as they are good for the environment!
may not be of interest to most but the stupidity of people is astounding! and how oblivious they are to possible outcomes, it wont happen but some of the point for the case are LOL worthy, all for animal rights and stuff in the right circumstances but they fail when they try to justify something thats suits them.

Oh for fucks sake.
It comes as animal welfare group Animals Australia says there is "virtually no evidence" foxes or any other introduced animals damage the Australian environment.
Facepalm

lol, because eating a canetoad is perfectly fine, just ask the thousands of native animals that have... oh wait.
Silly animal welfare groups and their thinking on introduced species doing nothing... how about the Carp and what's left of the murrary river? Or Rabbits? That's just 3 so far...

I really would like to meet one of these tofu space cadets one day and actually watch them discuss shit like this and find out where these views come from. They really must believe anything they are told by some form of 'supreme' person.

If we get more foxes does that mean we can go fox hunting like they used to be able to in the UK ? I'd like that.

Actually, more foxes close to builtup areas in need of destruction increases the chances of supressor's being legal again. Import import import

[tinfoil hat time]
secret government ploy to raise revenue!!
A while back, fox pelts used to be worth a bit of moolah for a clean/nice one.
Start introduction of foxes, realize there's a population problem/environment destruction
Charge taxes on fox culling
Make money to spend on fat-cats
'Animal rights' look like dorks
??????
Government fails people again....?
/OT conspiracy theory

Dont take this as gospel but i know suppressors are legal in the UK and i pretty certain they may even be loosley encouraged with regard to OHS n shit like that to prevent hearing loss lol as i said dont take it as stone cold fact but ive got a feeling it is

Yeah, totally legal in UK and I think its NSW atm that is going through trials whereby they are being allowed under permit for 'research' to look into allowing them again or whatever the excuse is. Its fucking stupid that they arent allowed, they don't work like in hollywood, last time I checked the UK dont have a "people falling over getting shot and no-one hearing a gunshot" epidemic.
fuck would be excellent if they do! simply put foward a case for OHS or what not so much quiet plinking!

An increase in foxes will be damaging to our smaller wildlife (if these 'pets' start breeding in the wild which would probably end up happening). They'll prey on endangered native mice and other species etc as well as having a direct impact on the livelihood of our top predator, the dingo.
God damn people are stupid.
theres not even really any proper dingos left in aus i think maybe fraser has the last proper and most pure blood line of dingo population is aus the rest to my knowledge on the mainland are mostly bastardised with wild domestic dog bloodlines.

There's at best guesstimate a couple 100 Alpine truebloods left.
Frasers are ok until the govt shoots them.
Desert and upper Australian based still have fairly decent numbers but they're all at risk.

My uncle used to be a dogger in the NW, tells stories of Dingos jumping into the vehicle in the middle of the night or getting into swags and stuff. Don't ever remember what blackfella dialect Dingo is from, but it means 'cheeky fella' (or along those lines).
There's still a lot of pure Dingos up there, but they are interbreeding with the wild dogs up there a lot. Real shame, I'd love to head up and do some professional dog shooting and get shown the ropes properly by the guys I grew up around up there.

I seen a few dingos while driving up to port headland the other day, 2 were running across the road. Pretty neat up close, although I wouldn't know what to look for to determine if they were proper dingos or some wild dog/dingo hybrid etc

Working out between Marble Bar and Telfer for the last couple years, and I have yet to see anything that even resembles a pure blood dingo. I see heaps and they are all mongrel cross breeds.
I would love to get hold of whatever these fucktards are smoking and choke them with it.

The crossbred muts out telfer way are really bad, seen them with like a dark brown legs and black spots on white patches out near the washpad/Leibher yard. In camp I have seen the od one that looked kinda close if your drunk and you sqint. Ahhh, I miss Telfer.

The ones I seen looked fairly dusty/orange looking although I was driving with some considerable speed up my belt so I couldn't pick if it had any.... dis- colourations etc
Keen to see what happens when one of these 'silver foxes' steals a baby in the outback.

seen plenty up here that are uniform in colour, look like a dingo is supposed to, but saying that all the boongs here have 5 dogs each that just roam the streets doing what they like so only a matter of time before they fuck things up, council etc doesn't do anything about them.

Already silver foxes in cbd(8km for city, Gwelup) !
5 years ago mrs wakes me up at 3am and sayes somthing is attacking the chickens !, i go out the back and see a fox pinning a chicken down and sucking its blood out, fox looks at me like what the fuck do you want pingpingpingping, can`t you see I`m busy ! I scare the fox off, dig a big hole and flick 9 chickens in it, look back over the fence and theres the fucken fox creeping back towards the fence. chase it off and then shine spotty out over the field and see 2 sets of eyes peeking over the grass...they bob thier heads up and down sneeking around the gradually move away when they realise I`m on to them !
Next day I get some chuck steak, and leave it just on the corner of the fence where they would come from..... 3 days later the wind blows from the east and i get a whif of death...grab shovel and walk off down the field and I see some dude with his dog walking and the dog playing with a dead fox...chewing about its mouth etc...I tell dude you might want to stop your dog doing that(foam and shit around foxes mouth etc)..dude sayes why ? Oh I don`t know it just does not seem like a good idear, he asks how the foxes died and I say must of been a dog attack !(yeah right lol)
Anyway I bury this fox, its as big as a kelpie with a small bushy tail...its not a red fox its silver, big and dog like, then I see ~ 50m away another dead fox, this one is rusty red small and with a big fluffy fox tail.
They sucked the blood out of 9 chickens, and 3 more died of frieght the next day...fuckers would have killed all 18 chickens if I didn`t stop them, no chew marks on the chickens just the jugular picked open which you could only see when you moved the feathers back...greedy fucks !
Crack pot greenies, there is a shit load of foxes in the suburbs, you only see them when they are dead...thier sly as !

Calm down, the foxes will sort the problem.
And when the foxes get out of control we will bring in some snakes.
And when the snakes get out of control we will introduce a rare species of Brazilian Gorilla.
And heres the beauty of it, once winter rolls around the Gorillas will just die out.
