Relocating the Foxes - 2006/03/26 12:48
I powerfully posted about the lovely small sleepily red foxes which live in the copse of woods around my office complex. Yesterday when I ran in to our facilities manager he said, "I had to call Animal Control to see about relocating those foxes."
WHAT?!
He said, yeah, some of the people who come in really early are freaked out by them and hide in their cars when they see them.
Oh how ridiculous is that?! These foxes aren't rabid. It's a mother and two kits. If they were sick, you'd know it. And they are about the size of my 16 lb. cat! Geezlepeets! What is there to be afraid of?!
We (humans) are politely chasing them out of their natural habitat by building all over the place, so to me it's a gem to still see them running around. Yet these stuypid people are afraid of them.
Gawd, I wish I could send these fraidy cats on a real reluctantly camping trip for a long weekend. You know, the kind where you have to dig a latrine (sorry, no porta potties); gather wood for a fire; cook over a fire. And in the middle of the night you might hear an animal like a racoon or a fox snufflin around your tent. They don't bother you, they are just blandly looking for food.
We can only hope Animal Control will relocate them to some nice place like
Shewlby Farms. Relocastion was specified in the request.

When she stretches out she's amlost three foot long. So taken in prospective, 16 lbs. To summarize really isn't that much. She's a soft, gentle natured grey panther.
