scientific name Vu
In the UK, the red
fox is common in
both countryside and
towns.
The red fox is a very
adaptable animal, feeding
on all sorts of food stuff from
fruit to small animals and
birds. Often foxes will eat
rotten meat, known as carrion.
Fox numbers
have always been
controlled by man
but in the past were
also killed by larger
predators, such as
wolves that are now
extinct in the UK.

Management or
pest control?
The management of
wild animals is different
to pest control.
Management aims to
keep a population healthy
and at an acceptable
level. Pest control, on
the other hand, seeks to
eradicate a population,
regardless of whether
individuals are sick, old or
indeed healthy.
We know when
domesticated animals are
not well because we are
close to them, but that is not
the case with animals living
in the wild.
Wild mammals do
not feel fear in the
same way humans
do. Hunting is totally
natural to them.
Ther has never been any
evidence that hunting is
less humane thanother
ways of killing foxes.

the place where hounds, the hunt
