I read an article in the Times today according to which foxes are now being shot (true) ripped apart by dogs (false) snared in brutal traps (Here we go again) and poisoned. If any one feels like writing to the Times to tell them they are a bunch of lying toerags please feel free.

ironically poison probably started getting used more because they couldn't use dogs. How many farmers want to stay up all night waiting with a rifle, I'm sure they've got better things to do.

 

I'd love to know how these sort of people think their 'free range' food is going to survive without some kind of pest control.

Yeah. Free range chickens + foxes? Organic meat from new-born lambs + foxes? Organic beef + new born calves + foxes? Organic vegetables + rabbits? Organic crops + corvids/feral pigeons? Ho Hum it is to larf. I loved their totally unsupported claim about poisoning foxes though. How about producing some evidence? I will accept that some keepers are still prepared to poison raptors but the vast majority of hunters are implacably opposed to the very idea. Now poisoning lying scumbag reporters . . . tempting idea. Me, I'd sooner sit off at 1000yds with a 6mmbr but that's just me.
