BTW I've noticed in my are since the introduction of Wheelie bins and the fact people use them properly there are less foxes."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

In urban areas foxes will populate and set up a den in disused or over grown gardens.
They are a scavenger by nature so often tear open bin bags for scraps.
Unfortunately some deluded idiots think its a good idea to.also feed them. So they become used to humans and still tear open the rubbish in bin day and gets some extra nosh from the animal lovers.
What they also do is attack small animals such as smaller dogs and cats.
In rural areas they tend to stay away from populated areas, never understood it but when I moved to the sticks, there were less sightings of foxes. People were less likely to feed them as they were considered nuisances.
Though one of the Norpusses got savaged quite badly on one of his forays through the fields. So it is becoming more common for them to attack domestic pets.Comment

Personally I think foxes are pretty cute and should not be hunted, however farmers who'd lose lots of chickens would have another opinion.
This fixation with banning fox hunting with dogs in this country got nothing to do with animal welware and everything with the class war.Comment

Unless you're mixing up hare coursing with a night down the dogs.
Oh and foxes don't just like chickens, they are also rather find of maiming sheep, and also taking lambs during birthing in lambing season.
Though not a big fan of necessary bloodshed for the sake of fun such as fox hunting.Last edited by norrahe; 5 March 2012, 21:12.Comment
