Would you rather they be shot from distance and die slowly in some hedge?



So your happy with dog fighting?

Look its kind of a sport but at the end of the day foxes are vermin a pest who eats lambs, chickens etc and spread diseases . They need controlling in some way hey will breed and before you know it we are over run in the city and countryside with theses pests.

Many years ago I looked after 20 chickens when I was a butcher I had a thing for theses chickens as you do when you feed an animal daily. One day I opened the hatch everyone bar two had the head ripped of just there bodies left!! Mr fox did not have the decency to eat the chickens he just mindlessly killed them for fun!!! This upset me ever since I have been in favour of fox control.

IMO

Foxes don't "mindlessly" kill for fun, True that faced with a handy, ready meal they will take advantage & if they were able they would come back for the rest. Usually they don't get the opportunity to return to cash in on that advantage. I presume these Chickens were for slaughter anyway, so what's the difference? Oh yes, Foxy didn't pay for them.
