I live about 10 minutes not even away from Westerly,RI in Pawcatuck,CT and this freaks me out because I sometimes walk around my block at night and there are woods surrounding the neighborhood where I live….maybe I should carry a bat with me with nails in it just in case…

So if i read this right, that child was attacked because somebody had decided to relocate they predators to our area? who makes these decisions? the best part is that if you had a one in your backyard, animal control will not come UNTIL they actually attack and/or kill a family pet….or in this case, a helpless child.

Our dog was barking wildly today at one in our yard. We watched it cross about 2 acres of wooded land. The dog got out and chased it up a tree. This was in Hanover, MA.

We used to have a huntable turkey population around here in western PA. Not anymore thanks to the fisher. I will shoot every one that I see from now on!

We have one in our neighborhood. Every once and awhile it gets a neighborhood cat, and the other day it got my neighbors ducks. I am getting chickens soon and wouldnt really care if the fisher eats a couple $2 chickens. If you let your cat run around outside, for one you are ignorant, and two accept the possible demise of your domesticated invasive species. The stories of these things attacking people are extremely exagerated if not outright fiction. And for all you idiots saying you should shoot the thing; if your cowardice of a 20 lbs animal drives you to exterminate it, maybe you deserve a bullet.

This comment a fisher above gave me pause for a moment…
“I just encountered one taking my son to the bus …” Maybe Anon. shuld tell her son not to go with strangers? Even nice furry ones? Lol.

I’m curious to know what prompted the attack on the boy. If they attack humans people should know way more about them. I see ones in newton that are way bigger than twenty five pounds. I saw two of them that looked as big as a badger.
