Was a local contractor involved?

Muddafugging FOX!

He doesn't like old people.

The Fairfax County Animal Protection police officers responded to a call in the 8600 block of Kenilworth Drive around 10:30 a.m. Monday. A woman, 81, said she was in her front yard when she was bitten by a fox.

A couple of hours later, a man, 84, in the 5600 block of Ventnor Drive, close to Kenilworth Drive, was mowing his lawn when he was bitten by a fox. Both people sought treatment at the hospital.

Good chance of rabies. They dont generally behave thqt way.

What does the fox say?

I was bitten by a beaver once. Eeewh, that smell.

ISIS inspired me to carry out these attacks.

I thought George Bush made you do it.

We have lots of foxes around our house, but they always seem to scurry off when we see them.

Why would you bring Hillary into a post about Foxes unless you thought she was?
Very desperate and stupid to make political comments on a wildlife health concern.

So, these old folks are going to die now?

They were both really old. I bet it's a normal fox just stalking weak prey. I did get rabies shots after being bitten by a wild cat...and they hurt like a bitch (not in the stomach like they used to be, but still in the arse with a really thick needle to help with the thick serum). These old folks are champs

Based on an exhaustive study of the victims' demographics, the only risk is for people over 80.

We need to ban foxes. More fox control needed. Register all foxes so tragedies like this don't occur again.

Foxes are small animals and prey on things like mice or squirrels, not humans. This thing was probably rabid.

Eastern foxes are getting larger due to inbreeding with wolves and coyotes. They are deceptively strong and a rabid fox could easily carry off a toddler.

Thx. A couple times I saw a scavenger critter and thought: "It's a fox. No, it's a coyote. idk". Now that's what local media needs to be reporting.

That fox probably sensed the two people were DNC operatives.

It's Roger Ailes on the loose after being dumped by Fox.

Foxes can't breed with coyotes or wolves, for the same reason a squirrel can't breed with a rat.

If these foxes are getting healthier, it's because they've found a safer environment and easier access to food.

are they scavengers?

My son told me a fox chased them on their bikes behind Shoppers.

foxes eat anything they come across dead or alive. even garbage and garden plants. they can really sustain themselves around here because of that. no predators other than cars and they can nest in wooded areas where no one really ever goes, like between subdivisions and wooded areas near offices. they're all over reston.

Lots more fox around here than there used to be. I don't recall ever seeing any other than maybe a single rare one now and then back in the day. In the last 10 years or so seems like they're everywhere. Driving one night this spring I saw 5 different ones within only about a 3 mile drive. Regularly cutting through the neighborhood now to the point that I can recognize some of them.

fault (if you can) 4 decades of serious wildlife conservation. I grew up north of Frederick, we never once saw bears near our house back then. nowadays it's a regular occurrence where my parents live. same with deer, you always saw some while driving out near farms but now my parents get them walking through their back yard- never saw that ever back in 70s/ 80s. the big push for wildlife preservation started back in those days and now we're seeing it. give those animals a few inches and they will rebound into places where you never used to see them. same with foxes.

The wild animals around here don't even keep to traditional hours any more. Fox and deer are now out at any hour of the day or night. For example it is 12 noon and standing on my back patio right now eating hasta there is an 8 point buck and a 6 pointer is grazing a few feet away. They were here yesterday with 3 others. There is a fox that comes through my back yard every day between 10 and 11 am. The foxes are all over West Springfield. Non-rabid foxes have followed me occasionally while walking dogs.

Plus a lot more development and less wooded areas forcing them out from where they'd normally be otherwise.

It's okay. Those two old fogeys were probably leakers. They'll be dead soon enough.
