Killing a fox is still aloud just not what many call Fox Hunting the 'sport'. That's the part that many don't like, the idea that groups of people on horses and posh uniforms rounding up 20 or more hounds and chasing down a fox and letting the hounds rip it apart. That's what they banned.
You can still go out with horses and hounds just as long as you shoot it humanly.
Foxes have adapted like pigeons did once a new home with lots of food. You know bees thrive in the cities as well, no pesticides.
Foxes in the UK don't have preditors, nor do they attack children. I am one to disbelieve that it was a fox, even if it was it seems out of character for what foxes usually do and any histeria about it is stupid considering we still keep more dangerous animals as pets.
I have all these views and I'm a country boy who grew up on a farm, I know they are pests and if one is about we shoot it. Pest gone.

ok i kinda agreed with you up untill you said it wasnt the fox, then what mauled it? the hungry sleep walking father

We have only the mothers word on it but a fair point, it just seems out of character. I just said there was a point of disbelief in my mind. It probably was more then likely a fox but even the expert the BBC interviewed said that the only 2 incidents he knew of a fox attacking anyone in the last 40 years turned out to be a dog and a cat. This is rare indeed.
There is no denying that town foxes are braver then ever but I think that's based on what they can get away with, sneaking into a house I can see, going upstairs past (I presume) the parents is very brave indeed for a fox. Maybe this one was special but if they caught the right one, was being the key term.
Lets not make this more then the freak occurance it is though, there are more threats to children in homes then a fox.

Thats true it was out of character, but sometimes these things just happen and it can't be explained, like human actions, sometimes people just snap and do very out of character acts
