Releasing Foxes

[countrymaid 2]

Guys, i need your help here. Im horrified about all this, ive just discovered that a neighbouring farmer has been collecting Foxes from a well known charity and rearing them till they are well enough and releasing them on his land that borders mine and a few other angry farmers.

Ive asked this farmer many times over the last 6 years if he knew where all these foxes where coming from as it was obvious that they where town/city foxes. This farmer has even seen my daughter crying her eyes out when all of our chickens got killed by some of these released foxes.

Its awful to see these foxes when they have been released as most have no idea about how to hunt and you hear them calling out for weeks until they die of hunger or get killed by the local hunt or us.

I feel like going in on all cylinders and having it out with this farmer, i thought he was a friend of mine he even had the nerve to say to one of the other local farmers that he wished there where more farmers like him self that would do more for wildlife.

The local hunt are aware of all this now, i just want to no if there is anything i can do legally.

Shoot them then give them back to him

Yes thats an option, but why should he be allowed to do this and have the backing of a large well known charity.

I'm sure there are plenty of us on here who would be happy to keep their numbers in check,

Find out what charity it is and approach them about it .They will not be happy that their foxes are in an area where they face control .Legally there is nothing you can do about it but it is legal to control any amount of foxes by legal means .

Yes these are foxes that have come from Bristol or somewhere like that, as an animal lover its so sad to see these foxes die slowly over weeks they call themselves animal lovers that charity

surely if he is rearing then releasing them where they are affecting someones livley hood he is in the wrong there must be something that can be done ,trap some rats and when he goes away to a sale get the feckers through the letter box

Yes thats what i mean there is a poultry farm near us with over 3000 free range hens, these foxes dont think like country foxes they will attempt most things and they have no fear of humans. Some of us around here need to earn a living, i earn a little money from the sale of eggs and that goes towards keeping my dogs.

Its just not fair!! all this

[Guest little_lloyd]

SHOOT THEM AND GIVE THEM BACK I hope they dont realse some Bristoloian foxes in my area just when there far far to many
