Get in and vote or don't complain about it. So far the cuddly fox people are about 700 ahead.

Thats difficult for me.
I know foxes are vermin and need to be controlled, but I have a family of them living in my garden and I like them being there, at night I can just sit and watch them with the NV and I love having nature in my garden. I'm 1/2 and 1/2 on the matter. There numbers should be controlled, but I don't want to erradicate them.

You don't own chicken, pheasant/partridge, lambs or horses I'm guessing then ?
Yes I did say horses because- I once saw the remnants of a previously very healthy foal that was killed by a pair of foxes !
The foal was a Welsh Cob from top stock and very valuable. That one didn't make it into the human food chain, he went down a foxes throat !
Cuddly wuddly they might be, innocent they are NOT
...is this a pistol in my hand, or am I just pleased to see you ?

We, as people who are involved in the countryside, know we will never eradicate them. We can only control them to a certain point. And I have sat in a field and watched the cuddly wuddely fox playing and enjoyed it. It was on land where I was instructed not to shoot it.

However for the purposes of the poll I think we can assume black is black and white is white and you need to vote for which side of the fence you are more inclined to be on.
