People At Sports Club "out-Foxed"


Recommended Posts

One of these days a fox will have rabies. Being attacked by one will be no joke then.

Two ludicrous points

The first being that there is no rabies in the UK so you would need to have a rabid animal getting through the strict quarantine regime and as Fringo says going out its way to infect a fox and not some other animal

The second is a fox attacking a human - despite the highly unbelievable article above

They watched the fox in the CCTV images but there is no footage of it attacking these people and the local pest controller who makes a living out of killing foxes is the "expert" that backs up the story not the RSPCA or Wildlife trust

A fox will defend itself like any canine if backed into a corner but it will not go out its way to attack a human never mind stalk one

Well this took an unexpected turn.

I had posted this as a lighthearted thing mainly laughing at the guy who "had to admit" he had tweaked his groin.

Who forced him to "admit" it.

And the stupid trying to "outpace" it. Then fell on his .

Good point. And the woman who allegedly got bitten had tried to "distract it with food" so of course there was a chance of her hand being bitten by a curious and possibly hungry fox.

Some bats in the UK carry a version of the rabies virus.

I vaguely remember a bat handler getting it a few years back. I think he might have died from it. But it is very, very rare.

I mind reading they sometimes put people in an induced deep coma and rarely that gives the body the time to scour it from the body. Although it's happened so little they don't know what exactly is causing the recovery, could be a crazy immune system. My dad has wolverines immune system, shrugged off Pneumococcal meningitis,blood clot in brain and periods of fitting, deafness, confusion and a coma in 6weeks, also was in a car crash where he went roof first into a tree and got his thigh snapped, arm broke , hand broke etc etc and was out of hospital in 5 days.

So some folk just have better immune systems.

I just remember reading about the case at the time
