Pedwar 320 Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Was the vixen in milk, did you even think that you may be leaving cubs to starve to death below ground Quote Link to post
delswal 3,817 Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Maybe the farmer and cushty thought the future lambs and present stock more important than a fox ? . Quote Link to post

Pedwar 320 Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Maybe the farmer and cushty thought the future lambs and present stock more important than a fox ? . All pest control should be as humane as possible, leaving cubs starving to death is hardly humane, perhaps the vixen was barren and no cubs were involved tho, thats why I asked the OP if the vixen was in milk Quote Link to post
shropshire dan 467 Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 So what happen when we shoot a milky doe, all of us have done it and left yound bunnies to starve. I'm going foxing saturday with the intention of shooting as many as possible, simply because the farmer has asked as he is due to turn the lambs out in a few weeks. So in his eyes his lambs are more important than foxes, same as we would view it if we were losing money/stock to a fox 1 Quote Link to post
