Don't believe the 'human Daleks'

IF we are to believe Mr Rix (Journal Letters, June 17) urban foxes are being transported from the inner cities and dumped in huge numbers into the countryside. Perhaps he could inform us where this has been happening and what evidence he has to back up his wild accusations.

He tells us that rats and rabbits are a major pest and yet conveniently forgets that the staple diet of a fox is rabbits, rats, mice and voles not game birds and small children. Perhaps he could tell us why, if the fox is such a verminous pest, hunts construct artificial earths to encourage foxes to breed in order to ensure there are enough foxes for the hunting season. If Mr Rix needs evidence of this it can be provided.

People who only see the countryside down the barrel of a gun are a sad species. These human Daleks with their exterminate, exterminate attitude are a sad reflection on those who claim to be guardians of the countryside.
