Default Is the fox a pest ? the lie exposed


"Tom wrote in message

That's what foxes do. Kill your stock and that's why they need to be
controlled in some way. The only fox control for the moment is hunting.



If you have a fox at your livestock you sit up all night and shoot it.
My neighbour did just this and shot 3 in a week, all the hunt does is
distribute the foxes round the countryside.
If you don't want to do this yourself there are plenty of sports hunters

out
there who will do it for you for nothing.


True, but as it's difficult, to say the least, to get a certificate for a
rifle for use in the open, I have a problem if someone tries to kill foxes
with a shotgun having come across one that had just died having been badly
wounded in the hind legs. It must have starved to death in agony over some
weeks.
