Love them or hate them, foxes cause not only damage to our lawns and
steal our
tools, but are capable of transmitting diseases via their
treacle-like faeces
and strong odour urine such as leptospirosis (weil's
disease) and toxocaris, not
to mention the internal & external parasites
they will almost definately be
carrying. Under The Abandonement Act
1960, it is illegal to release foxes once
trapped; therefore, the only
humane and legal solution is to safely dispatch
them. I am professional
Urban Fox Controller working in North & East London
areas, spending most
of my time in schools, colleges, commercial and residential
properties.
I am often called in by gardeners due to the constant digging up of
lawns and flower beds and the unpleasant fouling left behind. for more

Steal our tools? Tries to imagine fox with spade and fails. Well, if they
steal our tools I wish they'd learn to use them and be a bit helpful.

No, you've got them mixed up with Pikeys. I quite like foxes.

A domestic dog has the same chance of contracting leptospirosis as a
fox .. urban or otherwise. So do we shoot stray dogs ?

Yes, that is true, they can get it from rats unless you inoculate your own
dogs against it, which you should as a responsible owner.
When was the last time you saw a stray dog? Unless it accidently escaped
from its home.
As a poultry keeper, I have no problem with the post although digging up
flower beds is not a problem, killing my chickens is, especially during the
day.
I had most of my chickens once killed by a fox in the day, when I got home
from work it was still killing
It ran away when I saw it, leaving 22 dead and the end of my project.
Yes, anyone who can put foxes out is good.
