Urban foxes are diabolical fiends that must be destroyed

That’s what the Standard appears to think. Today’s story about middle class pets getting eaten is here. Last week they ran Kate Hoey’s fretting. Previous fox-sceptic accounts are here and here.
There’s the fox, minding his own business, just trying to make a living like the rest of us. Along comes a human and builds a big city all over his habitat. But Mr Fox doesn’t complain, he gets on his bike and he seeks out the fast food wrappers and the waste the occasional small pet rodent and he makes it work in his foxy wild animal way. And what thanks does he get? He’s lined up for a cull. For shame!
