salclalin 240 Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 I Think the Red Fox is our Most Beautiful Mammal.However they do Need to be Controlled.Controlled Not Exterminated.The Countryside would be a Poorer Place Without the Fox. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
klashnekoff 3 Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 I dont hate them neither do i wish them gone from the countryside,As much as i enjoy hunting and digging them i would rather see them about for years and years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tyla 3,179 Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 Well i think foxs are cute, especially cubs,..but what young mammal isnt cute and cuddly?...you havent seen cute till youve seen a mamma skunk and five babies ploding along behind her!...i respect every animal there is,...i also hunt every available animal there is, and it is treated with respect, when alive, and when dead...nowt wrong with having feelings of compassion for the animals that you hunt and admire...its when you STOP having them feelings, that it stops being hunting, and starts being murdering....just my take on it. Thats one of the best posts i've seen on here, expressed perfectly. Well done that man Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Attack Fell Terrier 864 Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 I've respect for Foxes, but if they're making a pest of themselves then they need sorting out. If they're not then I would dig them for sport and allow them to run on if they weren't already dead or in a bad way (if it were allowed of course). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ideation 8,216 Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 A world where we have killed all the predators would be pretty sad world. . . . when they need controlling it gets done, but who wants a world devoid of the fox and other natural marvels and only populated by mankind, pheasants and sheep? Anyone who cannot see the beauty in watching a fox stalk its prey or feel a certain sense of 'good on ya' when you hear one nail a rabbit in a dark wood must be lacking in something . . . If i could re-introduce wolves in my area i would . . . . i'd love to see them about and get the chance to watch them do their thing in the wilds of the u.k. But i'd also give my right arm to hunt them through the high forests on a winters morning . . . . . . atb Jai. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure the farmers would agree with you on the wolves thing too , not only would they have to contend with loses to foxes but now even a bigger threat to livestock with the introduction of them. Beautiful animal i agree but no place in UK anymore. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes i totally agree that it wouldn't be a wise idea - i'm just saying that i would love it to happen BOTH due to their natural beauty and the joy of going out to watch them and also for the joy of hunting them (and i wouldn't choose a gun in a million years).
