  1. Wild Animals of this District

    Share Share Post
    The wild animals around here are, foxes, rabits, hares, ferrets and weasels.
    The fox is a very clever animal he feeds on flesh and blood of fowl.
    Michael Whyte and other people of Shanaway were hunting a fox in the Glen and he went away and went into a cabin. He heard a man approaching and he lied down and pretended to be dead. When Michael Whyte saw him he thought he was dead. He went in home and when he came out the fox was gone.
    Last Monday 16th May two weeks ago a man was coming from the bog. He saw a fox going into the bushes and he blocked one side and he caught him just as he was coming out. He gave him to the man that has the pack in Ennistymon and he is there still.
