Foxes


Although this predator can cause dissatisfaction by stealing chickens
or rabbits from out of hunting areas, we have to avow that the fox is
part of our fauna and plays an important role in nature. Foxes help
regulate the population of rabbits, birds and little rodents. The fact
that the fox population has recovered over the last years, is good
news. They can only survive if there is enough food (i.e. small
animals) to eat. The more small animals there are, the more foxes
there will be. Nature regulates itself. If the foxes eat too many
newborn rabbits in spring, there will be less grown rabbits the
following year, which means less food for the foxes, so their number
will decrease. That is what we call natural balance.

Humans naturally kill foxes when the foxes kill their chickens
too. Many areas have leash laws now days to prevent dogs from
doing things like that. Why allow wild foxes to do what we have
laws preventing dogs from doing? If a fox is killing peoples' animals
on their property, the fox needs to be eliminated. If some people
are going to pretend to care about the foxes so much, then they
should volunteer to eliminate the fox problem, and do it in a way
they think best. Is anyone doing that?
