To say that shooting the foxes is just as cruel as running them down and letting a pack of hounds tear it to bits is a red herring. Sure they will kill a chicken, but, American foxes only weigh about ten pounds. Hardly a monster. People have pushed the wildlife to the brink. They have no where to go, and they are only doing what nature programmed them to do. Humans know better. Why did I suddenly think of the "Clearences"?
