Yeh, turning an urban fox out in the wild is probably one of the cruelest things you could do.

 

The irony is amazing give the name of the organisation.

You learn something every day guess I have been misinformed

 

You have not been misinformed. It is illegal to transport a wild animal in a motor car also illegal to release animals onto land that is not your own. The country workers association did a survey on foxes released from town to country. It was pretty amazing.

Just an animal trying to get by like the rest of us. Shooting foxes doesn't solve anyones problems.

 

I don't live in town so am not affected by urban foxes . When one got into my partridge pens and killed 120 birds by biting the heads of them all and just leaving them there I shot it . Did not solve the immediate problem of replacing lost birds but stopped further problems ........Solved mine .

How did it get in the pen though?

Dug under the wire .

Clever bastards, bit like humans really. Have you done something to prevent further fox attacks?

[Stubby]

Not a keeper any more but standard practice is to go lamping and shoot as many as you can with a 2250 . This helps to keep numbers down and leave just healthy ones as the competition is less for the species in that area .

Sounds bloody hard work. Is it not easier to create fox proof stuff? I know they're pretty crafty and I'm not talking about lazers and CCTV, but like concrete floors and stronger pens etc?

the antis are quiet tonight, id definately deal with it, in a final manner, use a moderator if neighbours are close...

 

Do you mean the antis that objected to you suggesting shooting a cat out of a tree?

I think its only non native spieces its illegal to release, grey squirrels etc, because I know the animal rights groups catch mangy urban foxes and release them into the countryside,

 

Where they are promptly shot by farmers and gamekeepers

 

Which saves them a slow death from starvation as urban foxes have grown up as scavengers not hunters and so can't fend for themselves in the countryside .
