murder most fowl

[Steve]

It is illegal to release vermin, but that doesn't stop animal charities from doing it. A member of a shooting forum I visit sees charity vehicles letting loose foxes caught in the city, they normally mooch around for a while looking confused before he shoots them ( that's the foxes, not the charity workers ). An urban fox is in trouble if it can't find a KFC.

I'm also of the belief that foxes that have learned to stay away from people / dogs / chickens aren't a problem, indeed they prevent other foxes from moving into the area, so in my opinion an electric fence is better, long term, than shooting foxes.
