I deliberately misquoted wilde to make the point that banning foxhunting,Willnot prevent foxhunting from taking place ,BANNING Alcohol in prohibition times,did not stop people drinking,banning smoking in Ireland has not stopped people from smoking,its just sent them outdoors.[it has stopped passive smoking ]
I live in the countryside,and have had very unpleasant experiences with foxes,snapping off the heads of ducks and leaving their bodies behind,taking A chicken and killing the rest,their behaviour can be barbaric.
the question is what is the best way to control them,using poison can also kill innocent domestic animals,shooting is a possibility[but the animal can suffer if its wounded,escape and die in pain]but lkie everything man has interfered with[introduction of rabbits in australia]their numbers do have to be controlled how does Ruth Archer propose to do it.
