Sorry but as someone who has seen the aftermath of a fox raid on a chicken coop the idea that they are harmless, pretty animals who are treated badly does not ring true with me. My grandfather used to have a smallholding and I can remember the carnage that foxes used to leave. They didnt eat the chickens but just killed them and many of them actually died of fright. Hunting results in a quick kill, whereas shooting can leave animals hurt and dying. Find a quick guaranteed way to kill foxes other than hunting and I will be behind it, but they are pests and have to be controlled.

Sorry for the rant, but people like Kitten who jump on any bandwagon which is anti-establishment really annoy me.
