Hope it works. The sight after a fox tore it's way into my pigeon cage one night was not pleasant.
The government here pays $10 for every fox you kill. I will be a millionaire very shortly. |

I live on a farm and there certainly hasn't been an increase in the amount of foxes I see since hunting was banned.
I am sincerely hoping the ban is not repealed. If it is will it mean that hare coursing will return? |

Oh, to answer one if your earlier question, Kenny. If foxes need culling then yes, hunting with dogs is the most humane way ti do it Hate to disagree with you Diva but how can chasing a fox until it is exhausted before being tore to shreds by a pack of dogs be humane? Surely there must be a better way. |

Signed of course.

Yes,but the fox will get away or be killed.
Better than chewing its own leg off when caught in a trap or being shot and injured. I agree not humane at all to chase a poor fox to exhaustion then rip it to pieces. I hate fox hunting, really hoping the ban is not repealed. If it is, it will be huge step backwards in the cause for animal rights. Some of my family used to hunt. My grandfather, an aunt and a cousin. I never had any desire to go along. My last horse used to be stabled on Exmoor by his previous owner for the stag hunting season  He used to go nuts when the hunt was about. I kept him in his stable or be would have been off and after them! |

I just detest fox hunting and hare coursing.
We should be looking at more humane methods with foxes if it is for culling. |
|
By:
Yes, but we all suspect it is not for culling.
Hare coursing is just awful. Muzzling the dogs doesn't improve things much for the hare either. |

TBH I hate zoos equally as much. Unless it's for breeding and release purposes of endangered species it's equally cruel.
I also think that Dolphin/Orca centres should be banned. |

Towns are full of foxes, I know a man who has trapped 5 in his garden in the past 2 years,
I know a Woman who`s full grown Male Tom Cat killed a fox cub in its garden, A Fox killed the Hedgehogs in my relatives garden, it was on top of his chicken shed last month, A Fox has got 8 ducks from a local mans allotment because he does not lock them up at night, Predators do Not control themselves, Foxes, Squirrels and Magpie`s are sure knocking off lots of prey, Wild and Domestic. One woman feeds the Foxes a tray of chicken legs every week, she thinks they are her pets  [ This image is no longer available. ] |

When the ban was first introduced I was against it for the simple reason the foxes had a far better chance of surviving than getting a bullet through their heads.When hunting was allowed the local farmers etc. who went hunting tolerated a few foxes so they could have a days hunting,not now I'm afraid.It's see them,shoot them.This proposed cull in my opinion is now because of the number of foxes in the towns & cities,not in the countryside.It isn't a rural thing nowadays,it's an urban problem so of course things must be put right for the townies.
As for it being easy keeping foxes out of the hen shed,well let me reassure you it isn't.These things will get in where a draught can't & it isn't a pleasant job going down on a morning ,burying the hens carcasses because the fox wanted a bit of fun. |

Cats should be added to Foxes in this repeal. Cat hunts (don't mix up the words all you confused out there!!) Imagine charging around West London on a Hunter. Giddy up !!!

You still living in FIFI's 4000 dollar a month flat???
ps my problem is squirrels digging up plants, so foxes (we have three charging around here) and cats, are less of a priority. |
