Do they? and how do they destroy the set and kill the fox's inside?
I'm not going into the ins and outs of setting a snare(it's many years since i did that, and not very successfully then) .At the end of the day fox hunting is illegal and it will remain illegal .We are an advanced society and have more humane ways to control pests .Hunts have grown in popularity since the ban ,more foxes are being killed so what is the problem ?
