The animals are attracted to the green material which insulates cables and other car parts, causing hundreds of pounds of damage.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eco-friendly brake cables\u00a0are being eaten by foxes<\/a>, after manufacturers switched from petroleum-based insulation to soy, forcing owners to wrap their cars in tarpaulins. The Telegraph<\/a> has the story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recent photos show multiple cars covered in blue plastic for protection after a spate of attacks in Worthing, West Sussex, with locals claiming at least 20 vehicles were targeted by foxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jack Cousens, the AA\u2019s head of roads policy<\/a>, said the animals may be attracted to the soy-based insulation on brake wires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2000, peanut and soy-based oils and waxes have been used on car parts including gearbox insulation, primer bulbs and diesel injector wires, instead of petroleum-based coverings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere are two reasons why foxes attack<\/a> cars in this way,\u201d Mr Cousens told The Telegraph. \u201cThe first is that some cables can be soy-based and therefore they get attracted to the taste of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSecondly, within brake fluid there is something called glycol, which is a sweet-tasting alcoholic fluid, and they get a little bit attracted to that too. But they would only get attracted to it if they chew so far through the cable and uncover it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eddie Mitchell, who lives on Broadwater Green in Worthing, the\u00a0latest target for hungry foxes<\/a>, said: \u201cEveryone around us has been affected. There\u2019s been at least 20 attacks by foxes on the brakes system under cars.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
