i didn't say i thought fox's were pests ,to me they aren't, to farmers they possibly are my point if you read and understand is that if a pest like a fox is killing your chickens for example ,the most inefficient way of killing said fox/pest, is to get 20+hunters on horse back with 30+dogs to chase it through god knows how many miles of fields in the hope they may or may not catch it coursing injury to horses and dogs when a gun or a better fence would suffice.I i use rats as an example because if the hunters were hunting fox's for the benefit of the countryside i.e to controll a pest then they should feel obliged to do it for the numerous other pests that are prevalent in the countryside
there is only one reason why people would want to hunt a fox in the way they used to is because they enjoy it all other reasons are to justify the bloodlust they crave
