Good plan. Let's reintroduce bears and wolves. That'll sort the softies out.

We had a rogue bear here, the first wild bear that wandered back into Germany in a couple of decades, but he was mauling farm animals in Germany, Austria and Italy (wandering back and forth) and they killed him, in Austria.
This year, we have a rogue wolf in Bavaria and Tirol causing havoc.
I fart in the general direction of your foxes! /monty_python

The two young girls mentioned were nine months old when they were mauled by a fox, yes.
They were also nine months old when their parents, who were downstairs, left them unsupervised upstairs WITH THE BACK DOOR OPEN!
It's not the fox's fault that the parents are idiots.

Thing is, this doesn't strike me as being particularly irresponsible. I'm making a touch of an assumption that the babies had been put to bed and weren't simply left upstairs for laughs of course, but other than that it's something I would have done quite happily.

+1 It's not hard to think that you left the childs room door open the better hear them or to let air flow through the room, the back door was open while cooking or to let air in and you wandered off to the living room to watch 15 minutes or coronationendersdale...

Well we didn't seem to like them much in the first place, hence they're not still here.

I wonder how Velociraptors would truly cope in the modern world..?
I feel a "mad scientist" moment coming on. Does anyone have a DNA sample I could clone?

Great idea! We could train them to eat chavs and Tory politicians - solve the UK's problems in a stroke!

Let them lose in the House of Commons and solve the expenses problem forever.
