He said houses have been built by cutting down many bushes and jungles of the two villages.
Foxes can attack villagers in the face of food and habitat crises, he assumed.
Asked why the foxes were suddenly attacking people, the veterinary surgeon of the Upazila Animal Resources Office Kanij Farzana said foxes may attack people because of the housing and food crisis.
As the foxes have been attacking people in those two villages for several days now, we think they may be infected with rabies, said the veterinary.
