'Vicious' fox traps eight people in Cambridgeshire sports club

A "vicious" fox trapped eight people inside a sports club for three hours as it stalked them from the car park.
The animal appeared as people were preparing to leave Alconbury Sports and Social Club, Cambridgeshire.

Panic reigned, with a woman being bitten, a man falling off his bicycle as he was chased and a pest controller being pursued back to his car.
Club chairman Bruce Staines, who was chased around the car park, said he had "never seen anything like it".

Mr Staines admitted he "tweaked his groin" trying to get away from the marauding animal and back to the safety of the club.
"None of us could get out. When we tried to use a side door, the fox heard and came haring round there."

A woman who tried to distract the fox with food sustained a bite to her hand.
A man who tried to outpace the creature on his bicycle was chased into a field and fell off, losing his glasses in the process.
"He had to fend the fox off with his bicycle," Mr Staines said.

Even though rabies has been eliminated in the UK, it would still be the first thing I thought of, if a fox went for me like that.
And wild animals are far too fast to kick.
We are like slow-motion, to them...

Is this a set-up to try and get people to dislike foxes so they can have support to hunt them again? Seriously, this is stupid and also hilarious. It sounds like an onion article but it's on the BBC

Poor leopard. Idiot human.

Poor leopard. Idiot human.

I just don't understand why people go on safari trips in open trucks.
Just because some dickhead in Khaki shorts says it's safe.

Last month, a 22-year-old American tourist died after she was mauled by a lion which leapt through an open car window in a park outside Johannesburg.
'When the paramedics were treating the lady she unfortunately passed away,' he said.
He has been working for less than a year at the Park, which is an hour from Johannesburg.
It's the third big cat attack at the park in just four months.

Unlucky if it was the same person twice.
