Fox Wars (2013) - BBC Urban Fox Documentary (HQ)

- Опубліковано 29 жов 2013
- BBC Fox Wars Documentary narrated by Rebecca Front and directed by Leon Hunt. Interesting and balanced documentary, showing both sides of peoples' views on urban foxes.
An important point this documentary does raise is that humans feeding urban foxes definitely encourages them to come back night after night.
Do urban foxes need the assistance of humans to survive given the abundance of food that we throw out in our towns and cities?
Unfortunately, this documentary doesn't really offer much advice for those looking to keep urban foxes out of their garden. The deterrent products shown are listed below, however the most effective fox deterrent is not featured, but can be read about here:

The Fox Project are doing great, they are angels. They guided me through helping an injured fox fully recover where I provided medicine to fox. Thanks 🙏
I'm so happy that there are kind people who rescue foxes.
Lol that hilarious old woman who got film crew to film her garden find a fox turns out its a cat shitting all over place god that funny as hell
That a bit out of line there's no need go that far
Feed a cat canned food and the smell is horrible and the scat will definitely make a brown spot on her "perfect lawn". Hopefully she's a little more educated now ;-) Unlike some of the other people in the video.
Yeah, it made me laugh too, as she discovered that cats shit into gardens
That cat laid a huge turd, it was magnificent! Super impressive.
Wait, it's a war between a woman and a fox because the fox went to the toilet and the land it used just happened to be in your garden? How should a fox know you don't want it there?
Boomers have been catered to so heavily that they think everyone (including animals) should be able to read their minds.
I have no love for humans who dismiss another life because it isn't human. I believe that these humans would treat other people the same if they could get away with it. You were either born with empathy and compassion, or you were not.
dumb comment and stupid to compare humans to animals
Foxes are lovely creatures, The Fox Project do a very good job looking after them. I hope people learn to live with them in the future..
What disgusting, violent and destructive creatures those people are.
40:40 "TAKE THAT."And then she gets sprayed with it. HAHAHAHAHAH
🤣🤣🤣🤣😭
The cat shitting on her lawn had me rolling in laughter!!
Foxes are beautiful animals, but they do cause a bit of damage. I think the best way to keep them out of the yards of people who dont enjoy the company is to check all entrances the foxes can slip through and close them up. It was pretty funny that she thought it was a fox deficating in her yard when it was the cat next door.
There are lots of foxes in my town and they are no problem,,they give a lot of old people pleasure who enjoy feeding them,my mum included.
I'm half surprised there are any foxes left in Britain, after the long tradition of brutal fox hunting....
they breed like rabbits and allot of them live in city`s speeding disease, attacking pets and injuring live stock.
i love animals but it needs to be done, i agree some people are cruel when hunting them but they are only a minority
I love foxes too. But god damn I wish those people would stop feeding them! Just like any other animal they will come back if you feed them. Maybe this whole problem wouldn't have got out of hand then. :/
I agree. Wild animals like Foxes should not be fed. It will cause Foxes to become tame towards humans. Foxes don't deserve to die.
I feed foxes but I get what you mean I do it very occasionally and away from the house
Yeay! Let's spread ever limitless, take the living space of animals, then complain they come to our garden! Aint that fun, fellas?
survival of the fittest. it's nature.
Yoshiga Victory Humans are the most intelligent species of animal on earth, and the most invasive ones too. I think with the first attribute, we could keep the second in check. Survival of the fittest is an easy argument, until you fuck up the ecosystem, and your "fittest"ness will leave you nowhere to live as the glorious strongest lifeform you imagine yourself to be. Being the fittest doesn't just mean we can kill anything... It means we can stay alive under many circumstances, and we would help that case a lot of we kept balance.
I would rather like to think that there needs to be a balance between the two options; no, of course don't over-hunt, of course that will significantly damage the environment. however, the foxes are also seeming to be forming a dependency on humans who feed them (I don't accuse you of feeding wild animals, but that seems like the general argument in the documentary). When the humans stop feeding them or quit supplying them food in general, the foxes will be forced to relocate, and will have more difficulty hunting (in theory). in other words, feeding the foxes is making them too soft to fit in the wild. but yes, I see your point.
Yoshiga Victory You do have a point... Foxes are crafty, but there is a chance some of them will become softies. Still, the vast majority of them would do just fine. Animal rescuers often say foxes are the easiest to send back in to the wilds after rehabilitation.
Hey, that's the exact fox picture I sometimes use!! xD And I also loves foxes more than anything in this cruel cruel world :3
Good for the team at 18:22 for giving every fox a chance and making efforts to co-exist with foxes, ie. boarding up areas they can get into such as a shed. In Vancouver BC, raccoons live in the city just like foxes do in London. People keep their garbages secured, cover holes in garages/sheds/attics/under stairs ect.. people co-exist with urban wildlife, not harm them.
Terry and greyham are true heroes!!
Brilliant.
Both are being dumb. I never feed foxes and usually try to keep a distance from them. They are supposed to fear humans. Because people think they're so darn cute and adorable, they've actually put them in greater danger. However people who hate foxes are stupid because they act like these animals are just pure evil. They aren't - they're just animals. personally, I think the best way to control the population of foxes is that we don't give them a reason to be around humans in the first place.
100% agree
A sensible comment.
The Welsh woman should look up fox repellent, which is the safest way to keep foxes off her lawn.
Feeding foxes is fine if done away from the house and very occasionally and also if there’s an injured fox you would need to feed it to get it used to a trap
They don’t have a choice but to be around humans, we’re everywhere. Fox population is actually going down like a lot of the wildlife. So what do people mean by "population control"? Exterminate the specie?
I love the foxes they are so misunderstood they are part of our wild life for christ sake.
Yes :)
Bet you don't got live stock. And enjoy your lamb. Eating a sheep's young is OK. But a fox killing for fun is OK.
By the logic of some of the hunters if an animal is causing destruction we should control its numbers. Where does that leave us, humans?
Quincycle ......still killing other humans.
We've caused the most destruction of this planet
+Jonathan Palka that's what I tell some people, we are more dangerous then animals, animals only have weapons they grew on there body like Claws and Teeth, we have Guns, Bombs, Missiles, Grenades, Tanks, Land Mines, Atom Bombs, Warheads, Arrows, Traps, Flame Throwers, and Plastic Explosives, human kind has turned the world into one giant Bomb because of all the underground Missile Silo’s that are all over the world that have Warheads in them.
I don't understand why you people compare humans with animals.... and btw in US in some states there is a death penalties....
I feel so sorry for foxes because of those hunters are killing them seriously, stop shooting at them.
i don't agree shooting any animal
+Grant Moore even a human?
Those fucking cunts just go around killing foxes. I fucking hate them.
kanna231 breaks my heart to see someone killing such beautiful animals
Whenever I used to see a Fox scuttle its way through a street at a late night, used to make my skin crawl. But now Im fasinated by them. There pretty cool, but still are creepy and so are there late night crys.
Foxes are highly intelligent, incredibly athletic (far more than your average dog) and have very big appetites. It makes them relentless predators. Hard to say what the answer is to keeping them from killing domestic animals. I have always heard that dog poo is a great deterrent, because it is the scat of a predator (to the foxes).
Le Kre ... now,,, where are you going to get all that dog poo if you don't have a dog? Most poo is now bagged up by the owner and put in poo bins.
Have you seen the American videos on DUMPSTER DIVING" ? I CAN JUST SEE YOU DUMPSTER DIVING for dog poo ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Very nicely put together .... love it
I haven't seen or heard foxes around Barnet in ages.
I never thought I'd miss the screaming.
I like how people in the UK are complaining about little foxes while here in the US we have coyotes, wolves, bears, and big cats. Be thankful you only have foxes to worry about and not the big predators that can kill big livestock. I don't take to killing them though after all this was their home first we are the ones who moved in and changed the rules on them. But I know what it's like to live in the country where you've got to worry about coyotes and cougars killing your animals.
Not a very good argument since farmers in the US still kill coyotes, bears, big cats, foxes and even wolfs. It's not about sport or hate, they are protecting their live stock. I'm sure if you payed them 500 dollars for every time they killed all their chickens or whatever they wouldn't mind, so you going to pay them? You forgot Bigfoot, chupacabra and lizardmen to, we should plant mines for those buggers. No matter where you go people are moving into their land and they will come to town no matter what. The problem is those people who feed them every night so they get use to being fed and think coming into town is a free meal ticket. We have the same problem with bears, even if you put them to sleep they will come back or eventually our population gets bigger and the problem continues. It's a good thing animals can't use guns because we'd be fucked.
I love foxes thats why I am watching this
Watch Foxalbiazul
Same
I just love how they call killing a animal "humane"
What a top guy Terry is!
Why can't we live peacefully with foxes? They're like dogs, and we live peacefully with them. I'm gonna get a pet fox, a gun, then walk it out in the forest without a leash, so then hunters with think it's wild, then I shall hunt the hunter.
+TheFormHater www.popsci.com/science/article/2012-10/fyi-domesticated-foxes
TheFormHater but the thing is he can buy a pet domesticated fox from an exotic trader that way the fox is already domesticated no one said he is gonna get a wild fox
adam walsh you don’t say that about pitbulls thought do you
It’s not foxes fault people destroy woodlands for their own benefits. So where do they expect the animals to go if territory keeps getting smaller?
4:54 Why didn't she just set a trap? Waiting with a pole seems like such an inefficient way to kill something.
Well, because, you know, she's a loony.
If the people are suffering for their livestock, build the animals a safe place where nothing can get in it except for you. Oh oh but that's right... people are cheap...
Leave foxes alone!!!!
There good for nothing sheep and poultry killers
@@tiernanwearen8096 so are you
Nothing beats the smell of the smoke from the camber of a rifle and the sound of the thump of a 223 hitting a fox. Another pest down
@@ulsterinfidel9897 too right.
@@ulsterinfidel9897depends if it was necessary or not
plot twist, the "fox" that keeps taking shits in the old women's yard is actually a cat!
Cats bury their shits, remember?
@Goddess Of Oddness Or I' know what cats are like. Cats always bury their excrement unless they are ill or emotionally upset.
I don't agree w/ the pointless killing of animals, but I understand that sometimes you need pest control. Raccoons, rabbits and foxes can be be cute and all, but they can become a problem.
People who have chickens in the garden piss me off.
That fox from oxford is smarter than the farmer.
'well I can tell you where it shuts everyday' LOOL
Please don't kill. :(
Jesus! Can anyone tell me why the hell people south of anywhere in the world always solve their problems with guns?
Because they're effective and more selective than, say, poisons?
the fox emperor has arrived
Nobby should buy an orange cat. He could have a friend at home and not piss his neighbors off. Win win situation there.
Everyone has points. People keep chickens in their garden the size of a bath tub is stupid really. Just to to teach for eggs and meat. Or get a farm and keep things looked after and locked up. Fox is a natural animal. It needs to eat to survive. If you let a chicken out its entitled to eat it. The Welsh woman in the green house thing with her duvet and pole haha. Foxes are lovely animals
The fox doesn’t kill just to eat it kills the entire group of chickens and scatters them across the farmland
Its like making a shit aviary in your garden and getting mad when the local cats come for a midnight snack
Yea the lovely when dead. I will think about you when I am out shooting this weekend 😉
2000 !? Wow this guy is awresome
4:10 That is such a MURRIKA answer. XD
4:45 that woman is crazy
the_mysterious_fox
She's probably dead by now, cheers (◕ヮ◕)
+Kuk Din mamma a bit cruel dont you think even if she is crazy.
Waynesha Smith she got what she deserved
I read that there is specifically formulated fox repellent that keeps foxes away without harming anyone or anything else. Maybe the Welsh woman should buy some of that!
I wish foxes visited where I live. I'd feed them just like I feed wild birds in the winter when they need it most.
It'll seem nice at first, but then you'll have a bunch of them surrounding your home 24/7.
You can only see them at night most of the time.
Save the foxes!!!!!
Chaz Davies wipe them out
+Brock webb Typical urban trendy, would rather kill 1.2 billion humans than allow people to shoot vermin.
+AV1611 KJV no one said anything about humans just don't shoot the foxes : /
What'll be our argument when aliens what to hunt us ?
Don't kill the foxes.
They are so cute...until you watch one rip apart your baby chickens that you have raised since they were first hatched.
I have a love hate relationship with foxes, on one hand they’re cute(most of the time) but on the other they keep my up all night with they’re screaming (and it also makes me jump out my skin because it sounds like a person) and they also trash my garden and stare at me when ever I look out my window but they’re cute
5:36 okay, first step, lady. ditch the trampoline. foxes like to jump on those.
the wall spikes are cruel and don't really work as repellents.
How precious!!!
one way to stop a fox shitting in your garden,human piss on the garden.works everytime
This video makes me so sad. I hate that you people will actually hunt and hurt foxes because they exist. They are so cute and loving, they just need a chance.
those vermin keep me up all night
how could you shoot such an intelligent adaptable animal such as a fox.. and say your an animal lover!? thats not loving! thats plain death!
+Tabby Kitten
If you're talking about the hunter then I agree with you. If not then I disagree, as foxes are assholes which kill anything weaker than them. They don't deserve to be hunted though.
They are opportunists. They do what has to be done to survive
Tabby Kitten
Obviously not. If you've ever had outdoor pets you'd understand. They break in, kill, and only eat 1/10 of what they kill.
I know. I had a rabbit called Mopsy. It was really sad, but the fox did come back to retrieve her, but we had already buried her.
Tabby Kitten
It's not just that.
When they get groups of prey animals, they will only kill 1, and even then barely eat any of that 1. With a single pet, you wouldn't be able to understand. But to see so many dead pets, without even a single bite taken out of them is terrible.
I hate people who hate them. A mother fox killed all my chickens but I don't mind coz she was a hungry fox mum so I understand . They have as much right to be here as we do.
YES. Foxes need food like evry creature and it would of wanted food for its cubs so they wont die.
Drago Spirit I wish farmers would just work harder towards protecting their livestock and crops, rather than hiring people to kill foxes. They have a right to live.
***** Farmers work hard enough,
If the foxes need food they have to hunt for it in the woods not in the farms. I don't hate foxes but there place is in the woods not in the cities. I respect the wild life but the foxes are not pets, in that case they become pests. I have few ducks in my backyard and the foxes did catch twice one of my ducks in the middle of the day... I manage to save it twice but I thing there won't be like that next time, so my option is to get ger rid of the foxes that come in my garden.... They shit on my doorstep, they dig in the garden, they bring all kind of wrabish, destroying everything. So if I have to kill a fox in my garden I will. Nothing else will sort the problem. I respect the animals and every creature on our planet has his role but I don't think the foxes has any role in the cities or farms. Someone will say they hunt rats but they don't hunt only them. If I have rats I will set traps for them and I do that. As long as I can shoot them I will, if I see a fox in the garden I don't miss the chance. The foxes are not like most predators, the kill not only to eat but for fun and sport... we don't talk for a normal predator li wolf, bear, lion, tiger and so on, these animals kill for food, but the fox is more like a serial killer. So my opinion is as long as they killing the livestock they have to be killed. And my advice is if someone is going to sort it's problem by killing a fox it has to be humanly cuz after all no living creature deserve to suffer.
If you put down lots chilli powder mixed with black pepper turmeric with is all natural, won't coming to your area they hate that smell as a matter of fact most animals do..
Fox has very pretty eyes , and very crafty. Love them.
I rather have fox on my garden then rats
That's what you get for neglecting your duty to have a dog in the family. I'm my single experience of fox deterrent from a farm I found that a single .22 salt pellet from a low powered air rifle planted right in the fox's a$$ cheek was enough to see it gone for good. I've also been told that a good bodyshot with a paintball gun, pure orange juice, urine and even a spud-gun have all worked to keep a specific fox from coming back.
What? No fox fuckers?
I'm honestly surprised.
I moved in London a few years ago and I am still shocked to see foxes in the early morning. I love em as it is so different from my hometown where we had bears, dears, cats, dogs, wolves. Foxes are great, animals are great.
Wow where are you originally from?
If you think about it people think they "invaid" yards but actually that was there area before we built houses on it
Fox pelts are very warm, very useful for the winter!
the only thing i hate about foxes is when they start screaming in the middle of the night. But other than that they are nice animals to look at
i will cry if you heart it
Hey, think of where we'd be if we hunted wolves to extinction rather than offered them food by our fires. Probably still living in caves afraid of bears.
Love the bloke who relocates them and volunteers his time. You can tell he was a rough bastard in his youth, but he's found a new path, and his compassion is immense. Foxes can be a pain though, hence, I appreciate them being dispatched quickly and humanely. Those old Fox hunts were freaking horrible mauled to death by a pack of dogs.
@@kataklyso3482 Yeah, Tally ho! KEEP FOX HUNTING ALIVE. I LOVE A DAY'S HUNTING EVEN IF I DON'T SEE A "KILL".
SMC01ful ... before commenting - get your facts right. Do a bit of research.
"DOGS"!!!! Indeed ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
The problem is that the people themselves are fed foxes. And predators have to catch rabbits, rats, birds - a natural food.
Hunters respect, but we need to go to the foxes in dens with dogs.
Love foxes. Yes they kill my chickens but they are only trying to get food. Trying to do a school project on foxes has anyone got any ideas. Thanks
God bless anyone who helps Fox's.
No I hate those disgusting creatures
The only thing I hate about these documentaries are these comments sections. People have valid reasons for not wanting the foxes running a muck in their abodes and farms, Especially the farms because those chickens are probably their main source of income. I'm not saying you gotta seek the animals out or anything, but why demonize the people who don't want them around?
35:37 "an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind"
This should be on fox news
OMG THIS I PRATICE THIS AT SCHOOL
Love foxes
good documentary on foxes. :)
I come from a family that hunts. But if your not hunting to eat it and make something it of its pelt thats plain wrong. Please, have a reason to hunt an animal.
Sometimes it can be cheaper to hunt. Healthier too.
+Abstractly Creating Bloody Oath
+Abstractly Creating
What about self defense ? ;)
Hmm , Traps can help too , but im pretty sure a fox won't attack you . They are more of pests .
+Subwam They would if they feel cornered , especially if they have rabies .
37mins Nobby says the days are too long there isn’t anything for me to do. How about using the time to try tidying up your garden for a start.
You don't get a belly like that through doing anything that includes exercise.
No foxes were harmed during the make of this video.
foxes have done nothing wrong
Yeah except they really piss off farmers like Tony. Can you really blame them though?
Who cares about farmer Tony. It's not the foxes fault he has anger issues and can't think of a humane way to deal with life around him. Foxes need to eat. Just because something frustrates you doesn't mean kill it. Foxes are just being foxes and he's being a douche.
But Tony lost a lot of money due to foxes killing his chickens.
U R right its all foxes instint,thats how God wanted them they only R animals,they dont know people dont have to kill them
I agree with Grant
I live in Australia and foxes are feral here. They are my most favourite animal so naturally I'd love one for a pet
but that dream won't come true because keeping a fox is illegal here. I guess my destiny is to love them from afar.
They would be happier out in the wild anyway I guess.
+ShinyHappyPurple it is fun to have a friend that lives in the wild because they can show you fun stuff about nature that alot of people don't know or don't care about, there are alot of animals I would like to have as a friend, also wild ones.
Foxes are best loved from afar.
Foxes scare the life out of me but I’d never harm one
40:09 as soon she said Take that it sprayed on her EPIC FAIL XD
I love foxes 😍
Look at the mange on some of those foxes hahaha
30:00 Now that's a revelation 🎂
Me too Kingfluffs! ;-)
Gotta love the Brits! This was so quirky I loved it!
People invade natural lands then complain the animals who lived in their now gone home wonder their streets. This is logic level only a human can achieve.
*I love foxes they’re my favorite animals they’re dogs so I definitely think if they were domesticated I would give them food and water🩵❤️🦊*
the chicky is wrong at 8:00, male urine is actually one of the best deterrents.
Cruelty to animals is considered one of three symptoms that predict the development of a psychopath, and it is included as a criterion for a conduct disorder in children by the American Psychiatric Association.
People who are capable of such inhumane acts have a severely underdeveloped sense of empathy. They lack the ability to comprehend or care about the distress or agony they are causing.
According to psychiatrist Dr. Rene Samaniego, cruelty to animals is an early sign and part of the symptom triad of conduct disorder, which may later develop into psychopathy or antisocial personality disorder (along with fire-setting and bed-wetting in children).
29:34 its the cats
+akredfox Thanks for this, now I know where to start the video to share this hilarious moment.
Their are foxes and then there are foxes from hell
As I was watching this I heard the fox and saw it out my window
Surprised so many people in the comments here love foxes, in Australia they're universally hated as an invasive pest. Basically no-one thinks the little fuckers are "Cute", not for all the damage they do.
the fox is the animal that I like best , I would give my life to have a
