Please stop this mass killing. Disturbing the natural balance is not the answer. You will be killing large numbers to appease people worried about a few and destroying an eco system. This will come back to bite us, pardon the pun please talk with experts. There had to be a better way

I have thought about that comparison. Sink the Cruise Ships with 8000 people on board because 15 have the Deathly Coronavirus. Interesting. 13 attacks/bites, 8,329 people live in Bath. This is illogical at best. The numbers do not support the reaction, especially when people apparently not required to be mindful of their surroundings.

This is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard of. Who is ignorant enough to even come up with such an absurd idea? Whoever it is should be euthanized.

eliminating a group of animals enmasse is a good intention that will end in more problems. Please do not do this. A similar event caused a population of swell of small rodents that then became a problem. If you are not God, do not intervene because you don't know all the data.

There has to be a better way to handle this rather than trapping and killing all animals. This is disgusting!!

Trapping and killing healthy wildlife to catch the few that are rabid is inhumane and disgusting!

There's an old saying--said in jest, with tongue in cheek--"Do SOMETHING, even if it's wrong." Sadly, our City Councilors seem to have taken that bit of satire to heart, and applied it to a case where clear thinking and logic are what's really needed. Poorly thought out game plans almost always result in poor outcomes. Please let's stop this travesty before it goes any further and take the time to come up with an actual solution.

There are other solutions than this hasty and needlessly cruel approach.

This won’t guarantee the rabies will get better only culling the herd so people won’t get as much exposure. I say let’s come up with another plan and invest in vaccinations.

Please use other, more humane, non-lethal means to combat the rabies. It's not just in foxes! We understand the concern, but this is inhumane and too extreme.

This is the most absurd and disgusting thing I have ever heard of. I feel and it’s just another excuse to kill predators. If people are careful and aware of their surroundings they can avoid a run-in with a rabid animal. The chances of being actually bitten by one or probably one in hundreds. People can be treated if they get bitten by a rabid animal you don’t kill innocent animals and then test them to see if they have rabies stop this madness. Stop killing our wildlife we’re killing them just by us living. We should start kill Everyone in China because they might spread the virus to us. You’re a bunch of Bloodthirsty ignorant morons!

This is insanity. You're going to trap so many different species and kill them because lets face it, trapping is indiscriminate. How about dropping oral rabies vaccines like other places do.

Traps are not the answer to this problem. There are far better solutions to this issue besides killing unnecessary.

This plan is such a knee jerk reaction. Please look into other solutions. If not, good luck with the rodents!

This plan is a knee-jerk reaction to the issues. It will NOT just be foxes killed. Innocent opossums and reccoon and squirrels will be killed and housepets may die of exposure trapped in those traps. Spreading vaccine pellets is a much better solution.

You should consider the vaccine pellets instead. Trapping and killing all the animals is not the answer. Please reconsider.
