I agree with fox hunting. I have no objection to horse and hounds but I would heartily suggest a start be made, with guns or any other effective method, with the rural/urban foxes that inhabit the Sevenoaks neighbourhood. Upon enquiring with the local council vermin control office, that took no action in respect of foxes, I was directed to a phone site in a Tonbridge charity that advised the listener that all he could do was to discourage the creatures by the application of proprietary deterrents. It was also made clear that any person caught attempting a permanent solution that breached the Wildlife Act could be fined up to £1000`s per offence. As a youngster in Charing, Kent the 12 bore versus fox were "de rigeur". What a silly world we bring upon ourselves.
As for those that would claim "animal rights"!!!
The concession I would agree with is that man should deal with such problems without inflicting gratuitous cruelty.
