They aren't scary to people (unless in an area where rabies is common). They are beautiful-looking animals, but are a problem when it comes to small domestic animals and wildlife. Sometimes children can be afraid of the noises they make at night in rural areas. Their barking and calls in the breeding season can sound a bit creepy, but are just their way of communicating. Sometimes children may be afraid if their pet has been taken by a fox. _______________________ Pets and other small domestic animals in rural areas should be secured at night; marauding dogs and cats are more of a threat - though less noisy - than foxes, and there's no excuse for leaving a child's pet at risk during the night. Dogs are a real problem when it comes to domestic animals such as sheep, and these dogs are frequently unsecured pets. It works both ways.
