Its time to get rid of city foxes

Editorial

This stupid and romantic notion held by the "bohemian" middle classes of the capital that its wonderful to see foxes roaming around the streets of the capital has led to 27 foxes per square mile, and the terrible story of the Koupparis family in Hackney having their children attacked by a fox.Its time we used our common sense and ordered a mass cull of foxes from London, they offer nothing to the environment and the middle class "eco-warriors" should understand that wild animals and human beings just don't mix.

If estimates are to be believed we have over 10,000 wild foxes in London, local authorities should now be allowed to eradicate this wild vermin using skilled huntsman.

My advise is this, we all buy a shotgun paid for by the government, and shoot to kill these nasty things until they are all gone from our streets. If you think I am going to let wild rabied animals attack me in my home then you are out of your tiny little marijuana induced mind.

Humans have always lived near wild animals. Never seen a squirrel or a blackbird? I can only think the writer of this article sees himself as the 'skilled huntsman' he refers to. More domesticated dogs harm babies than foxes ever do - this case is exceptional, leave them alone. I'd rather see a fox in my street than a huntsman.
