Who is going to keep the foxes under control???As willow said there are animals that need to be controlled,would you not mind that you have a load of rats running around your dinning room table while you have your tea(doubt it)the people that live and work in our(there )countryside, control the animals as they see fit,and if it means chasing foxes with dogs so be it!Did you complain to the council when they put the netting over the public buildings in town,OH the pigeons havent anywhere to roost(the flying rats are vermin)foxes are vermin,rabbits are vermin.You cant tell your grandma how to suck eggs!Same goes to the people of the countryside that have been brought up with that way of life for hundreds of years.You could say that there are other ways to control them,poison them and when they die other animals are birds will feed on them and they will die as well and so on......and on .....and on,until they are all extinct.
