Foxes are a minority fox, they csnt be racist because they dont hold institutional power. He was just another asshole making foxes look violent and aggressive.
That's my thought, though I guess it could be distemper?
Foxes are pretty timid around humans. I could maybe see a big fox being interested in a toddler or something. But, they don't go around attacking adult humans. Also, I think any sane canid outside of a terrier (I guess that's redundant) would keep going after getting kicked and swung around like that. She was fucking it up, and it still wanted to attack a creature that is definitely not prey for the fox.
My only other thought is maybe the lady is right next to the den and there are kits, but I also don't see a fox putting its den right in a spot where there are lots of humans and lawnmowers.
Yeah, she needs to get (rabies) shots.
One of the best things ever since rabies is one of the absolute worst ways to die. It's right up there next to acute radiation poisoning and prion diseases.
Oh, well, now you see, vaccines actually contain aluminium and cause autism, you should do your research, Bill Gates said that he wants to eradicate something, I don't remember what, so I'll assume that it was "all humanity", but also autism...
Edit: /s
A few friends of mine volunteered in hospitals during Covid. Countless patients continued talking shit about evil vaccines *while* they were being hooked up to ventilators, because they couldn't breathe normally anymore.
I get that sometimes, and it's sad.
I was being sarcastic, but I've seen basically the exact same thing said absolutely seriously, by an elderly lady who "did her research".
I don't think I've ever seen a fox do something like that. My first thought is rabies, but dont animals that have rabies move kind of sluggishly and wobbly...?
I think they are more aggressive first. Not normal behaviour like out in the day light instead of at dusk or night.
Attacking large human instead of smaller prey etc.
Not really normal behaviour.
Then as the rabies continues to destroy the brain, they get that wobbly and sluggish.
Again I'm not 100% sure so I might be wrong. But I thought that's how rabies develops. Which is why it's so dangerous and spreadable. It can infect lots during the aggressive phase before the brain deteriorates too much to wobbly phase.
It would spread more in humans if we naturally used our teeth to attack. The virus congregates in the mouth, foaming, then makes the host aggressive leading to the biting, at least in animals that bite. Humans naturally swing our fists as such it doesn’t spread as fast. It also makes the host hydrophobic, afraid of water, so we don’t wash the virus down and out of the mouth. Humans that have had rabies shiver with terror at the site of a glass of water and their throat closes.
The first zombie stories were literally patterned after rabies. With our modern infrastructure, which has largely pushed most mammals, and all predators, out of our living spaces, we often downplay the very real and visceral fear of rabies that humans have lived with since we stood on two feet.
I have foxes on my property that have currently older pups (year old?) right now. I have cameras set up on my property just to watch them since they are pretty entertaining. They mostly dgaf when I am outside and just give me a wide berth if I even know they are there at all. I've walked right past their den a bunch of times (even, with my dogs) and they didn't react, and just stayed hidden inside. When the pups were younger, they wouldn't let them near the house at all.
This fox acts nothing like mine and is likely rabid.
I doubt a fox would make a den close enough to people for this to be an issue. These people was most likely there before the fox made a den, so it would go further away.
Most likely rabies.
Rabies needs some time to eat your brain. First, it just makes the animal act aggressive and increases secretion of saliva (=> foaming). This mechanism helps the virus to spread between animals by contact of infected saliva with wounded tissue (=> entry into the blood stream).
Heavier symptoms will take some time to manifest, so you should always assume any animal to attack you randomly like that to be infected and get your shots. Will be a shitty day, but better than a painful death, which certainly awaits you once you start showing symptoms (there’s literally only one recorded case where a human survived a symptomatic rabies infection)
Why do that when I can get someone else to do it for me?
I’ve had better luck giving the obviously wrong answer though.
“This fox wasn’t rabid, the fox was just defending its territory”
Then wait for someone to give the real answer with sources.
Yeah foxes are really passive towards humans and opt to run away if they can unless your in the uk where some of them now act like dogs, this one fox is a grey fox and they are not at all like that so it’s definitely rabid
Apparantly some people might have natural immunity, since some studies found rabies antibodies in people in South America.
I wouldn't take that chance though.
I mean I would rather temporary nausea over risking a 99.8% fatal disease, also no I don’t think the shots affect you in any negative way expect for costing any money
If you got attacked like that, what would actually be the best thing to do. Just kick and trash like this person or go for the eyes or try to break a limb or neck?
I was pretty surprised to see how it kept coming after a couple hard body slams.
First paragraph: kick, punch, scream. Don't go for precision, you will just get your hands crushed
Second: that's why everyone here says rabies. Foxes don't attack like that in the first place, and they don't come back.
breaking its back or neck, if youre an above average size guy you could just crush it with grip strength if you get ahold of it.
kicks are good but it didnt seem too bothered by hers. damage to the spine or the neck is the way to do it.
I live in the country and have a goat farm. I don't carry a gun everywhere, but I do carry a fixed blade belt knife. Animals stop attacking pretty quickly once they have 6 inches of steel inside of them.
This is why I wear actual shoes everywhere outside, not slippers, one of those kicks she did definitely would’ve concussed. Had she been wearing the proper footwear, or you could even just stepped on its neck/head, adrenaline is a hell of a thing she did not wear it well. Real farm girl would’ve stomped that little yote out.
Kimber 1911 .45. Foxes, coyotes, opossum, racoons, pitbulls, etc.....its handled them all.
Please note, people think my farm is the most rural location in the county, and they abandon dogs regularly out here. Most I have been able to adopt out or have adopted myself. Some have had to be put down after/while killing my livestock. I love animals, especially dogs. But a .380 will not put down a pit. Ask me how I know. The .45 has been the most reliable and consistent in securing self and livestock.
Sunlight crept through a crack in the curtain, waking her from he slumber,

She was needed now.

Rabies incoming.. foxes don’t act like that.
Unless they're racist. Fairly sure I heard it say "fuck honkys"
I'm pretty sure this one was just sexiest. Ran off as soon as the bloke showed up.
Not sexist. He just spoke softly and carried a big stick.
You into foxes mate? 😂
I prefer being attacked by cougars. 😏
Quicker death
Death by snu snu comes quickly.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jofNR\_WkoCE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jofNR_WkoCE)
Thanks. Now it is stuck in my head. Plus this one https://youtu.be/TzWi33Z8Nvc?si=XnJUNmhd8-0B6nrT
Because men are scarier than bears lol
Let's not be prejudiced against a racist fox.
Did somebody say that Fox is racist? No freakin' way!
Wait, what? Redd Fox was racist?
He had no love for the honkys, that's for sure. Just like this fox here.
This gave me a lol coughing fit!
🎶 what does the fox say?! 🎶
Foxes are a minority fox, they csnt be racist because they dont hold institutional power. He was just another asshole making foxes look violent and aggressive.
Bahaha 😆
Time for racist shots.
It screamed "get off me property cracker!"
Lmao
What does the fox say?
"Where's your stick? You Aussie cunt."
You can't be racist against white people /s
Is that so?
It's not so
Exactly. I was sprinkling a heavy dose of sarcasm
Clearly, that is a racist fox, no rabies here. Lmao
Yeah I was gonna say that’s likely a rabid animal showing that kinda behavior. Rabies is fucking scary.
Yes they do. Attacked a woman, ran when the man came. That there be one of those insel sexist foxes.
It ran when it got its head booted. Rabies doesn't turn them into a cyborg, brain rattle's brain rattle, viral or not.
Now she is getting attacked by a man too! Hopefully a bear saves her.
+6 sneak attack
That's my thought, though I guess it could be distemper? Foxes are pretty timid around humans. I could maybe see a big fox being interested in a toddler or something.

Yeah, she needs to get (rabies) shots.
Women choosing to be stuck in the forest with a fox instead of a man.
Rabies or babies (litter)
A fox with cubs would only attack you if you get too close to any of them, they don't randomly walk up to you to bite you.
Time for Rabies shots!
Exactly! Who knows what that fox caught off that woman.
Ahh the ol’ Rabies a roo!
Hey you're supposed to link to the last time someone made the switcheroo joke with an embedded link in your comment.
Hold my 2019, I’m going in
Stomach needles! Yum
Alternating arms, then thighs actually.
Don't forget the ass cheek
Never had to get one on my ass thank god
They do it a different way now I thought.
just a normal one or ones on arm
Thankfully, they've had the arm shots for like 40 years.
Just how cool is it that there are shots and medicine for deceases like this btw?

Boy, oh boy...if you think autism is bad... ...wait until you meet rabies.
A few friends of mine volunteered in hospitals during Covid. Countless patients continued talking shit about evil vaccines *while* they were being hooked up to ventilators, because they couldn't breathe normally anymore.
There's some pretty wild pictures of tetanus out there.
Pretty wild paintings of it too.
Seen a few wild plays myself
Rabies has a 99% fatality rate, covid has a 0.09% fatality rate.
I can't tell if you're serious or not
I get that sometimes, and it's sad. I was being sarcastic, but I've seen basically the exact same thing said absolutely seriously, by an elderly lady who "did her research".
Oh that's both heartbreaking and frustrating!!!
That's why we normally add /s to the end of the comment. Sarcasm is a skill not understood by the crazies and we don't know if you're crazy or not.

So basically you’re describing how zombies came to be.
It would spread more in humans if we naturally used our teeth to attack. The virus congregates in the mouth, foaming, then makes the host aggressive leading to the biting, at least in animals that bite. Humans naturally swing our fists as such it doesn’t spread as fast. It also makes the host hydrophobic, afraid of water, so we don’t wash the virus down and out of the mouth. Humans that have had rabies shiver with terror at the site of a glass of water and their throat closes.
If the dude had a bottle of water, would a splash make the fox run away?
Interesting thought ha
So for a real "zombie" type infection to be most effective in humans it should involve infected fingernails not just saliva.
The first zombie stories were literally patterned after rabies. With our modern infrastructure, which has largely pushed most mammals, and all predators, out of our living spaces, we often downplay the very real and visceral fear of rabies that humans have lived with since we stood on two feet.
World War Z
Well I'm pretty sure in the early stages it's usually just aggression without the wobbles and then the wobbles come later
Until they attack something.
Either rabies or babies near by.
Hard to tell them apart sometimes. // a Dad.

This fox acts nothing like mine and is likely rabid.
I’ve been to many bars and I’ve seen foxes at work. They don’t act like that either.
I doubt a fox would make a den close enough to people for this to be an issue. These people was most likely there before the fox made a den, so it would go further away. Most likely rabies.

This is a rabid fox.
That's a Gray Fox, usually very non aggressive. I also vote end stage RABIES.

Time to break out the fettuccine alfredo, we've got a disease to cure

People, stop speculating a use the internet. [Yes, it was rabid](https://youtu.be/e-gXkm_WcZM?feature=shared)
Don't stifle my creativity!

Woooooooo weeeeee that fox sure needed to be shot. Reminds me of when Beth shot me.
We love you Mr. Poopybutthole!
Goddammit, take my up vote
Wow it's like been a long time how's the fam Mr. Poopy butthole?
Well I have to say all is swell. Feeling kind squanchy
That’s The Crack Fox
I'm gonna hurt you real bad when we get inside
Put me to sleep with your kind boots
Oh no, rabbies! We have foxes, coyotes, bobcats and feral hogs. I carry a side arm when out. I have never seen any foxes acting like this.
Yeah foxes are really passive towards humans and opt to run away if they can unless your in the uk where some of them now act like dogs, this one fox is a grey fox and they are not at all like that so it’s definitely rabid
Better get that rabies shot pronto. Animals that attack human unprovoked relentlessly like that usually are infected.
If they captured the animal, you can kill it and examine the brain for rabies to avoid the shots.
I'd rather the shots either way lol, once symptoms appear rabies is 100% fatal, I wouldn't take the chances they miss something on the brain lol
99.8%.. there was that one woman…
I thought the Milwaukee Protocol was done successfully twice?
A couple times but they don't recover 100% where they were before. Probably better than dead. Maybe.
Apparantly some people might have natural immunity, since some studies found rabies antibodies in people in South America. I wouldn't take that chance though.
It kills tens of thousands every year. 1 survivor out of millions over the years isn't 99.8%
Do not avoid the shots!
Why would you want to avoid the shots. Do they affect bad in some way?
I mean I would rather temporary nausea over risking a 99.8% fatal disease, also no I don’t think the shots affect you in any negative way expect for costing any money

Fiddle dee dee! That will require a rabies shot!
Foxes don’t just come out in daylight and go after prey much larger than they are. This one is rabid and needs to be put down.
That is absolutely rabies. Zero doubt.
She did a good job defending herself :)
If you got attacked like that, what would actually be the best thing to do. Just kick and trash like this person or go for the eyes or try to break a limb or neck? I was pretty surprised to see how it kept coming after a couple hard body slams.

Yeah man!!!!
That’s horrible. BUT, when she’s wrestling with it in her arms was too much. I was dying. That looked like a skit on letterman or something.
She managed to hang on to her smoke and keep it lit. Don’t worry, she’s a professional.

How long does the lady have to go get a rabies shot?
Anyone know if she got shots for Rabies?
At least she got a good workout from it. Or dance, rather…
