[QUOTE="Robigus, post: 913706, member: 206"] [USER=12481]@aggravated farmer[/USER] we have a major cultural clash here. All these things may well be good and legal in the Good Old US of A but here in the UK they have been banned for a long time. I don't think there is anything wrong with discussing controlling foxes on a public forum, it is both legal and sometimes necessary. For one thing it gives a chance counter some of the more outlandish comments that have been made. However it is done it should be done it should be in a manner that causes the minimum of suffering, and the animal must be dispatched humanely. As has been said the first choice would be to shoot the animal in open countryside. There is no reason why any fox could not be squeaked unless it had been made shy by being squeaked and getting away. Theoretically a sharp blow to the back of the head is a perfectly humane method of dispatch but in reality a fox in a snare or cage will not be laying there quietly waiting to be hit. You are going to need someone with a gun at some stage, and they are going to be needed fairly promptly (unless you use the "ageing has-been rock-star method" and release it on your neighbours.:whistle::LOL:) Nature is red in tooth and claw and we should not shy away from it.
