And here's what one East Dulwich resident had to say, which was the most sensible posting on that thread, and saves me the trouble of pointing it out:


"Hunting was never about fox control - let's get that nonsense out of the way. Farmers do still shoot foxes just as they've always done.

The point about hedges and changing use of the countryside is a valid one but urban foxes are in towns for one reason only....because there is an easy and plentiful supply of food. No cull would more effective than getting businesses and residents to dump and bin their food prooperly. The ever growing rat population is also benefitting from the poor refuse situation."
