The supply of fast food sustains a density of urban fox populations
which makes urban foxes far more susceptible to disease/ infection
(just like sofa-dwelling lardbuckets).

The London-based foxes I've seen have all been a bit on the skanky side.
Except those around Blackheath, I seem to remember.

I walked past one sitting on a wall once. And I mean literally, I was
walking on the pavement, he was sitting on the (~waist height) wall on the
inner edge of the pavement. He just watched me, just moving his head as I
went past, then the same as I went back again in the opposite direction.

It was odd, but this was one huge and incredibly healthy-looking beastie!
