On Monday evening, several fox attacks in Bygdøy were reported on social media. Henny CK Wang threw his dog into a trash can to save him from an attack.

– He sneaked up on us and was ready to attack. Fortunately, I was able to pick Samo up by the harness and throw him in the nearest trash, Wang tells Aftenposten.
He had heard on a podcast about this way to save small dogs from bigger dog attacks. It turned out to work just as well to protect the dog from foxes.
After the incident in the Paradise Bay forest, Wang wants to pass on this advice. Keep the dog on a leash and wear a harness. Then it will be easier to lift it to a safe place.
Wang’s experience Monday night was not outstanding. In a post on the Facebook group, Bygdøy helps Bygdøy tell another about an experience on Monday night. An entourage of four adults and a child brought three dogs.
Two adult men beat and yelled at the fox without it moving away.
– They have to find a solution to this, whether they move the fox to another place or to something else, says Wang.
He called the police, who told them they were taking this seriously.

– If I had a stroller, I would have had to prioritize the baby. If I had the dog loose, I’m pretty sure they would have taken it. The fox hunted us. I am not a kitten, but I will not take the dog into the forest until the situation with the fox is resolved, Wang tells Aftenposten.
Last weekend, the fox killed a dog. The Urban Environment Agency of the municipality of Oslo set a trap, but it provoked reactions.
– There is not just one, but many foxes in Bygdøy. We constantly have them visiting the garden. Last morning when I was running, I came across a fox in the forest. None of the ones I have seen have shown signs of illness, Christian Ringnes told Aftenposten.
He wondered how the townspeople knew that they caught the right fox and not one of the other healthy foxes on the peninsula. Ringnes and several other committed attorneys and the Urban Environment Agency picked up his trap.
