Hunting foxes and rabbits IS conservation. Rabbit population increases faster than the prdator population can keep up and there aren't many species that will predate rabbits in the first place as they are an introduced species, albeit a long time ago.
Foxes are an apex predator with an abundance of food. If not controlled the population would explode, prey species would be wiped out, UK wildlife would be massively affected and then foxes would eventually die out.
The only thing keeping the balance is people
controlling the population not decimating it.
