Hunting this morning - tally ho!

Thats my point Macster. In my opinion foxes ar a bigger threat to everyday living than squirrels. I have never heard of a squirrel wipe out a run of hens or kill pet animals but because they threaten the 'indigenous' red squirrel that they can be hunted. I think grey squirrels are as bad as rats and should be killed.

Its hardly the same Madandra - Grey Squirrels arent indiginous, and as well as the huge impact on the Red Squirrels, they are a huge problem in both damage to woodland, and more importantly, damage to Bird life, through predation of eggs/young, and the taking of seeds which birds rely on.

Now, the Fox may indeed take Chickens if the opportunity arises, and kill a whole run if it can, but you can bet it would come back and eat them all if it could over time.
However, its main diet of rabbits/Pigeons/seagulls are not endangered, and if anything, it actually assists us in keeping these numbers down.

Maybe it would take a domestic cat if it could, I dont know, Ive never heard of it, but tbh, even as a cat owner, - what the hell, we've millions of cats that contribute feck all to anyone.
