Taken the vaccine, I'm better now, thank you. In all seriousness,  how else will you control foxes in an environment such as Blencathra? It's the only effective way to control foxes, please don't say " Trained marksmen", a shot can be misplaced resulting in wounding and a lingering death, hounds either kill or they don't. No wounding with them. Foot packs in mountainous areas are the only way, ask some of the poor hill shepherds scratching a living where the loss of only one lamb is a disaster, if they agree with you. I don't think they will. I am recovering from too much champagne least night as a result of my 97th birthday. I could well be tetchy all day. 

Hope your self induced suffering is severe and long lasting Mr C!

 

? That’ll learn ya ?

 

The solution to struggling hill farmers is not fox hunting. That’s just bonkers. 
 

Hill farmers struggle because it’s an inherently unprofitable, inhospitable, financially and ecologically unsustainable hobby masquerading as a  commercial venture. 
 

As if that wasn’t obvious enough, the wholly inappropriate nature of farm subsidy being paid to the land owner - often NOT the poor hard working hands on farmer - the market dominance of supermarket buyers and imports from (literally) the other side of the planet all contribute in a far more significant threat to the lack of viability of hill farming. 
 

Forget all that though, a fox taking 1 ewe/lamb is a much easier concept to grasp AND (for some) provides an easy example justification for a sport / pass-time which is otherwise wholly indefensible, repugnant and illegal. 

 

But apart from that..... ?
