A very sweeping assertion, no evidence provided to back it up.

The statement was from the University of Bristol Mammmals group and while I have no confirmation that they have evidence I have every reason to believe that such a group would not make a such a statement with no evidence. It is a question of who do we believe, A university research group or a bloke on the Mudcat. I know where my money is.

Have you actually been on the site? You may find it interesting. I first found it when we moved to the Yorkshire dales. In the middle of sheep country, With no apparent issues with foxes...
