Foxes have been reported on numerous occasions getting into peoples gardens and attacking small children. In fact some get in to homes and have attacked small children.
They also kill pets, chickens, geese, ducks etc.

Why is it obvious that you would come online because you are eating lunch?? I'd be too busy eating my lunch...

And do you also come online whilst eating your breakfast, brunch, 'Elevenses', afternoon snack, dinner, tea, evening snack, midnight feast?

Obviously very busy on your holiday there...

I've occasionally posted while I'm eating something if by myself. Or waiting for food, etc. Including traveling. Don't get what's wrong with it.

I would have posted more while traveling but I had no internet on my phone and the hotel connection was often barely functional.

Yea, they all count. Just people usually think of bigger, scarier wild animals. Then again, some people are really afraid of dogs.

Maybe because it's weird. Go on holiday, yet still post on an internet forum all day. Yeah, OK then.
I get that this forum has it's fair share of odd people, but ffs just enjoy your bloody holiday without having the need to post online about it all day.
Fair enough if you're just posting pictures. But that's not the case here.

Why can't people go on holiday without feeling this ridiculous need to go back on the internet. It's the same kind of person that can't not touch their every five seconds, or spends all night glued to a laptop when at home.
This isn't aimed at you nei, as I know you often go out and about cycling and what not.

We've have several accounts of Pikes attacking swimmers, especially children, so guess they count as well. A bear killed a man just recently, but a wolf hasn't killed a human since 1881.

Black bears in the eastern US are generally rather non-aggressive, but once in a very rare instance one might think a human is prey (what's so strange about that? Humans sometimes think black bears are good to eat). Someone in New Jersey got killed and eaten by a black bear. Might survived if the group he was in didn't scatter and run.

A wolf attacked a biyclist in Yukokn. Or rather his bicycle, it seems the wolf might have been just interested in the bicycle.
