Fox offSomeone should offer to shoot the foxes at the zoo, I wonder what the response would be![]()

I wonder if the penguin had a crap joke on its back![]()
They already have pest control at the zoo
They also keep an impressive selection of large calibre rifles on site as well.
I think this has been a very rare weakness in the enclosure that allowed this as the animals are rarely predated on by pests.
I don’t think they will have any qualms about shooting the fox.
Bit late shooting it now!
Ooh, the rich fat on that one....Oh I don’t know, have you seen them (admittedly, they generally pay at the turnstile…)?
The fattest penguin was spared, I see, too much for the vermin to stomach for sure…
