Actually it's extremely efficient. It is the best means available for ensuring only the strongest foxes survive - thereby simultaneously controlling population numbers but also ensuring those that do survive have the best genes, which is in the long-term interests of the species and the ecosystem. You can't fathom all that out whilst looking down a gunsight.
