Do Not Kill South End Foxes.

This a reprehensible, over-reaction to fear mongering. The fox who have contracted rabies are most likely already dead from the disease. The traps pose a danger to indoor/outdoor pet cats who could be potentially caught in an unchecked trap and freeze to death.

Unacceptable - over-reaction. There are other ways - please find them.

How did these foxes get rabies? Shouldn’t you look for the source?

Please look into other ways to handle this matter. Trapping and killing all wildlife is a horrible solution!!

Please stop the killing. Figure out an alternative. We owe it to wildlife and all sentient beings. Thank you!

Please find another solution to this problem. Not only is it cruel but you would be killing healthy animals too.

Killing foxes is cruel and ineffective.

DONT DO IT!

Please listen to us. There must be a better way than the proposed plan of trapping and killing more fox than rabid

The traps will not be lethal or harm the animal, but every wild animal caught in the traps will be euthanized. This is because it is impossible to confirm whether an animal is infected with rabies while it is alive because brain tissue needs to be tested...Please find another solution - all kinds of animals will be caught in those traps...

Barbaric, irresponsible and ineffective. This decision is a knee-jerk, poorly-thought-through and unacceptable response.

Please do review and find other solutions.

This will not fix the problem, but will decimate the local wildlife population.

A healthy ecosystems needs balance. There has to be a better way to approach this problem.

This will lead to a significant increase in mice and TICKS! Spread vaccine pellets!

There are better alternatives to this problem.

How could you even contemplate this as a solution? Figure it out.

I do not agree with the current decision to set traps that will indiscriminately capture all wildlife and potentially, pets. The humanely euthanasia of all wildlife caught is not a solution. It is cruel and inhumane. I implore the City of Bath to research solutions beyond the suggestion of the Inland Fisheries and Wildlife Dept of Maine. Respectfully, Kelly Sewall City of Bath Taxpayer

Would like to know who signed off on this project and what is the position of the Maine Dept. of Wildlife. Horrified by the council’s actions to manipulate the Bath ecosystem which will have detrimental long term consequences.

The more I read the more I realize how terrible of an idea this is.
