yes there are things that are wrong , then there are things that prove that some folk could be offended by breathing and need to find something better to whinge about .

Bonkers. Good publicity for the pub though

I don't think any Foxes really care ! Bonkers.

I believe the OP is going mad.....

The ponit isn't whether foxes care. Their point was about the fact that how we refer to other animals affects the way we treat them.

I still think it is bonkers and certainly not worth the time & effort to change.

Kept getting “server error”

Now there’s six threads. Can @Moderators sort it out please?

I'd rename it The Seal Club just to annoy then even more.

Seven!

Are foxes offended? They might well consider it a characteristic to be proud of.

This obvious attempt to gain publicity hasn't yet gained enough publicity IMO, a single post is a poor effort really.

Perhaps the OP could repost it a few times, that might help?

 

[bobzmyunkle]

Good going. I thought I was doing well with a triple post.

 

[Rusty Nails]

Has anyone asked the foxes what they think of this?
Show them respect and don’t patronise them by talking on their behalf.

 

[fossyant]

We'll be re-writing history next.

That pub is on my commute into work.

Appropriately I encountered a fox just a few metres down the road from this pub last week. It was around 09:00. Heard a scuttling behind me, to see a fox run across the road looking rather furtive and wary rather than sly. But there again, this is a rough part of town where there have been crimes of various sorts (gang killing, homophobic killing, etc) over the decades. On the other hand, possibly doing a walk of shame after knocking up a vixen during the night and then regretting his choice in the morning.

Or even thinking of visiting this:
