And i certainly know people who don't consider foxes to be lovable  but simply see them as a threat to their fowl, but then these people also do not ride about on horses in hunting pink and have their dogs savage the fox either.... they attempt to shoot it if it comes near their animals.. which i suppose is reasonable.
The problem is that the word fox has been used in such a pejorative way throughout history that people do not see them as the relavitely innocent creatures that they are... from being sly and cunning to being the devil himself....
What chance do they really have?
