Mainly it's used to exchange news about cleaners, coffee mornings and car break-ins but sometimes people post sightings of a naked man running away from a police helicopter or
a man walking around with a burning shed on his head and sometimes a great row breaks out. Yesterday, Bob posted about the guinea pigs that he keeps in his garden being eaten by foxes. This is the second batch of guinea pigs that Bob's lost to foxes, he claims that he sees 'tens of foxes regularly in the garden' a fact that he blames on the community leaving out food for them.
Here's an extract from his original post ... and the best response
BOB
STOP FEEDING THE FOXES
We have just
had our four beloved rescue guinea pigs killed by a fox ... there have been rumours of someone feeding the foxes
... if this is you or someone you know then
please please stop... it’s just
inconsiderate and evil. If you’re that desperate to feed an animal how about
you get a bird feeder? They were our truly loved and cherished herd and I can’t
believe that they are gone by such a selfish and uncaring action.
Response from Edward
You have sort of left
food out for the foxes though...

Ouch. Awww, poor Gunnea Pigs though!
ReplyDeleteAs for bird feeders - they encourage rats. Probably best to only feed the birds when it's very cold.

yes, a bit sad for guineas - but they did get rescued once ... xxx
ReplyDeleteAs I was reading I muttered "twat!" and hoped Bob has learned a lesson, albeit a painful one.
ReplyDeleteit is a painful lesson, I lost chickens to foxes once and cursed myself for not making them safe.
