Yes I am interested but only in how to get rid of them. They just killed
my ducks by biting their heads off, didn't eat them just killed them for
sport. I do hope we are not headed for the Spanish experience where
people leave poison bait out which is a danger to domestic dogs who have
to be muzzled or kept on a lead to prevent them form eating the bait. I
have dogs so this is not an option so I guess I will have to look for
someone with a gun.

Or you could just try and look after your ducks properly! I dont
suppose you would let your children out without protection? If you are
unable to look after animals you should not have them, dont blame
foxes for your failures.

You are obviously an expert in animal husbandry please let me know how I
should look after my ducks properly.

Far better you tell him what you actually do to protect your animals?

Please also learn to post a reply properly so that we know who said
what.

You could move to Scotland. They're killing more foxes there now than they
were before hunting was banned in that country. Of course, they're shooting
them so the foxes that aren't killed outright will die horrible, lingering,
painful deaths from gangrene.

That's quite untrue pro hunt propoganda.

Actually the groups who carry out culls are supposed to be marksmen
and professional at that. Perhaps you are suggesting we should expose
these lies too? Please provide proof for that claim.

My ducks were locked up every night in a wooden shed with straw bedding.
They spent the days with free run of the garden and use of a 10 X 10 metre
pond. But the foxes still got them in broad day light. I tried my best but
was outfoxed so to speak I no longer keep ducks, what a pity I miss their
good offices on the slug eating front. I hope I have not offended the
society for the protection of slugs, but I guess as they are not soft and
fluffy no one will be ready to march on their behalf.

Alternatively practise good animal husbandry and ensure your ducks are
securely shut away at night in fox proof housing. I breed rare poultry and
have not lost any to the fox. If I did I would be blaming myself for not
providing secure accommodation for the livestock in my care.

You talk as though foxes were not shot before the ban. They were.So if they
are suffering from gangrene now because inexpert marksmen are shooting them,
nothing has changed.

The BBC website won't do for you? Then nothing will and you must hug your
