Fox hunting with dogs is illegal! They should shoot them in winter - easy, just put down some fresh meat near a shooting hide and then shoot them. That's if any population control is needed by game keepers etc. As for farm lifestock - sheep are too big for a fox to kill, maybe they take the odd lamb but most sheep/lambs are killed by rogue dogs.
Tally ho fox hunting is a barbaric way to kill foxes (like Badger baiting) and should never be made legal again.
Yeh foxes are every where in London and walking through any street in the early hours, there will usually be a fox seen looking for food.
So I don't know why they aren't seen more often in the centre of smaller towns like Accrington?
