Animal Lives Matter!

Animal Lives Matter!
Too much media attention for these animals. After the recent demonstrations here in Bristol and London, these foxes decided to follow suit. They found the statue of a human in my garden and toppled it over. Good job it was not near the sea or they would have dragged it there before throwing it in.
(all from my garden, yesterday - do you recognise my bird bath?) pip
Enjoy.

Hi Herb

Very well caught

Wonderful composition and eye contact between them!!

Whatever wrongs might have been done by others elsewhere, I see no excuse for vandalism of a statue, unless of course you are an animal and don't know any better!


Best Wishes, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!

Thanks David. Its normally the early morning when we see these foxes. I think in the late dry weather they have looked for a water source to quench their thirst and found this bird bath. I had noticed that the top statue was a bit wobbly on there if I pushed on it and so imagine the body of a fox on it hind legs against it, would topple it fairly easy. Glad you liked it. I must re-enforce this.

Cheers, Herb

Ha, ha, I am with you there Peter. To be honest, after all these tails here, I must admit that there is a possibility that this pair is perfectly innocent, and it was bad, bad badger that dun it sir! Now -there is a real vandal! :)

Keep safe enjoy the weekend. Herb
