“We don't hate the fox, foxhunters love the fox. He has lost habitat, however, luckily for him hunters conserve vast areas to support him for hunting. This benefits many many other species who also live there. Hunts conserve more areas that all the conservation groups in the UK put together. Anti-hunters need to start looking at the big picture.

Foxes have always been in twons. They are now more plentiful because of food available and because misguided people have been feeding them! There country cousins are timid because until recently they were hunted which culled them but also made them spread widely over the countryside.

As to your last comment, I'm pleased and proud to be part of the hunt community.”
