Couldn't see it happening as rightly or wrongly it's the method most think is the only humane method. Expand Its certainly the most efficient method. Lots of places need foxes controlled whether it be to protect stock, game or wildlife. I dont think banning it would be good for the countryside in general. Without control there would end up being nothing but foxes, badgers, corvids and squirrels. 2 Quote Link to post
Foxpack 2 7,853 Posted July 4, 2021 Report Share Posted July 4, 2021 I've controlled foxes all my life .,and had to move some problem foxes and cubs of certain areas ,be in lamb trouble or bird .1 of the tasks I'm afraid u have to do to keep permission.though I will try different methods to move cubs on first .but 100% I cannot see the point of shooting cubs that aren't causing a problem .!! . There's a few drive by shooters in everybody village and let's be honest when proper winter fox season starts they will be cuddled up on sofa ,as its to cold to shoot .old school shooters , hunters let foxes have there summer unless a problem .it's the unwritten rule 3 1 Quote Link to post
