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.

It would be illegal in my garden.

If you don't know how to manage livestock then you shouldnt be allowed
to have it.

Which would be swiftly replaced by more.

Perverts you mean, surely? what pervert would not love the chance!

Just enter "vermin" and "pest control" into a search engine.

Better off just looking for some antidepressants instead, if you
imagine the world is out to get you..

Actually, I did have a fox living at the bottom of my garden for some
years without too much trouble. I don't propose to try pigs or hounds to
see if they're just as well behaved.

Ms Earth,

Are you saying that in your personal experience use of snares, shotguns,
and poisons are always more humane?

Of course mounted hunts account for only a small number of foxes killed
each year, far more are killed in cities by pest controllers. Are you a
pest controller, can you explain why your methods are so much more humane
than those used in the countryside?

But anyway, for you lady, a special deal! We'll send round a load of
lads on horses with red coats and dogs to deal with it. Don't worry
about losing the sympathy of 15 neighbours as their fences, plants and
cats are destroyed. Just offer them a share in the complimentary fresh
horse manure that is all part of the service. They'll be delighted :-)

Without doubt, unless it's a fool like you at the trigger end, in
which case you would aim to maim and inflict as much injury as
possible, because you are weird.

Without the hunt, the vast majority of foxes will simply be left
alone, it always was an excuse and a pretty feeble one at that, for
feeble minded people like you.

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.
