Whilst chatting away to one of the heads of the rspca regarding the fox attack in London, she said i could quote her on this.
Over a period of seven years, 1,939 fox droppings were collected in Oxford. Only 8 of these droppings were contaminated with cat fur but this didn't prove that fox had killed cats. The fur was most likely from carrion as a result of cats being hit by cars.
This isn't a job i'd fancy.

Incredible!! You are telling me that some agency actually examines fox droppings to determine what they have eaten? If only eight of the tested droppings contained cat fur I think it would be nice to know what the contents were of the other droppings. After all, I would think it important to determine that the foxes are eating well balanced meals lest they become nutritionally deprived. It would probably be helpful if the same agency took selected human droppings from say----------certain neighborhoods in the UK to determine their eating habits. Ah government----------what next?:wah:

I only deal with human poo.
Fox poo as a general rule, (from what I can tell) looks like a long crysallis or cocoon. It is really weird looking. Wouldnt want to go sifting through it tho. GROSS!:-2 Come to think of it, sifting through human poo isnt nice either.

It probably had a SLYte smell to it.

The survey was carried out to allay fears that urban fox were killing cats, something that's much of an urban myth.
How do you know if it's fox poo? Simple, just take one of my dogs with you and they'll find it, roll in it and eat it.

I think that job would be way better than say, being the guy dressed as a hot dog out in front of some crappy hot dog restaurant. Waving at all the cars while every single passer by is thinking "what a creepy dork that guy is"
Forget that !
