If you are saying that hunts are using eagles to kill the foxes then fine ,it certainly is a lot more natural and civilized than setting a pack of dogs onto it ,tearing it apart and then wiping whats left all over some kids face.
Culling foxes is needed ,they have very few natural predators and none at all in most parts of the UK ,so any method used will be unpalatable to some
