hmm
even if foxes are running wild in urban areas i really cant see it as a big problem most likely they are helping keep the rat population down
in newport ( south wales ) they have been on a get rid of pigeons campaign and been doing really well at it BUT since they have done so we are seening more and more rats in places and times we never saw them before
you mess with nature at your peril
what in any case this has to do with hunting is lost on me hunting has never controlled fox numbers in fact many hunts were breeding ( or helping those foxes they knew of to bring up cubs ) so there were enough to hunt
and ( i will dig out figures if i really have to ) only about 6 to 7% of foxes killed per year were done by hunts any way most are and were killed by trapping shooting or run over by cars
if your really worried about foxes in your garden get some dogs
not expect a huge investment in pest control which likely wont make much difference any how
