you got that right!
Who decided? For what reason was the fox considered to be a “danger to the community”? We know the geese are dangerous…. what a mistake.
Dan,
Too late now! I can think of several Westport locales that would have hired that fox.
Deer carry ticks that cause lyme , dogs have been seen biting mailmen and pedestrians, raccoons can carry rabies, danger to the community all around ….
If we take out natural predators we cause the goose and deer problem to get worse. The cardboard coyotes better beware!
