Your reasons sound like justifications. You don't need to feel bad about killing foxes.
What is the political or governmental angle on this that you're trying to bring to light? |
In the UK, Parliament has banned hunting with dogs. However, dogs may be used to flush out foxes before shooting them.
Personally, I don't think it's government business to deal with the hunters. Foxes arn't on the brink of extinction. In fact, it's typically the unfit foxes that get caught, thus keeping the fox population strong. This wouldn't happen naturally because the fox has no predators in the UK besides man, and won't happen with shooting.
Fox hunting was only banned because the government needed to throw a bone to it's back benchers who were getting restless since it brought in top up fees and way too many PFI projects.
