Frightened puss Bess found herself out on a limb after being sent scrambling up the huge tree by a family of vicious foxes in Moseley, Birmingham.

As several commenters have pointed out, the family of foxes seems to be a figment of the Mail's imagination.

The Mail is really getting a major kicking in the comments. I must say it seems an incredibly unconvincing story, and I can't see how it would be physically possible for a fox to inflict the alleged bite in the obligatory sadface picture. ( I'd reproduce it here but I'm on a Mac and haven't worked out how to do the right click thing.)

It's a very small bite - must've been a really wee fox. As at least one commenter points out, it looks more like a large insect bite, or maybe a rat bite.

Nice to see this one in the green:

You know what DM. You really are quite a loathesome organisation. You keep coming up with this rubbish. You are quite pathetic really. Leave the poor animal alone and stop printing these ridiculous infantile stories. If you are going to sell your soul go the whole hog and sell it to the devil (at least he has the power to improve your readership) instead of the Country Alliance. These stupid stories are pathetic lies and would be funny if they were not so vindictive. So just stop causing trouble and leave the poor creature alone.

Whenever I go to sleep some animal will try and eat my face. My face smells of hard boiled eggs coated in breadcrumbed sausage meat, so it's hardly surprising really.

Heh heh! Okay, own up - who was it?

Not only that, it nicked their xbox, credit cards & passport, stole their identity & is now living off the British taxpayer in a 6 bedroom house that it says it needs for "all the cubs", course foxy can't work 'cos he's got a bad paw, this is despite him being spotted chasing squirrels in a local park. Foxes eh scourge of society. Or it could all be a load of B****cks. Meh.

:lol:

Is it my imagination, or was today's Mail even more full of complete and utter bollocks than usual?

Or maybe I'm just extra grumpy because I've got a cold.
