New York Saratoga Springs: State environmental officers and local police are investigating fox attacks and urging people in the area to be cautious outdoors. Melissa Thompson-Flynn told the Times Union of Albany that she was attacked by a fox Wednesday while jogging. She said the animal came up behind her and bit her leg. She said she pried the fox off her leg, but it then bit her right arm. Thompson-Flynn, 51, a retired U.S. Army officer who served in Iraq, grabbed the fox by the throat with her left arm. Police arrived as she was still fighting the fox and an officer killed the animal. Thompson-Flynn remained hospitalized Saturday and has begun a series of anti-rabies shots. On July 12 at a day camp for children hosted by Skidmore College, a fox bit a camp counselor and scratched a camper. They were treated for minor injuries and began receiving anti-rabies shots, a college spokesperson said. Officers with the state Department of Environmental Conservation and wildlife experts have been patrolling the area with local police and college officials and setting traps on the campus.

Consequences of couple years of low fur prices.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Yeah, maybe they'll see what happened to the last fox and leave you alone.
The beatings will continue until morale improves.

Consequences of couple years of low fur prices. Yes. Proof that trapping is good conservation. When there's overpopulation disease takes over resulting in an agonizing, inhumane death for the animal.
Most in this country have things people in other countries only dream about. Yet, they want America to be more like those other countries.
