Not the horrible old fashioned way with hounds and knobheads on horses but......I went out for a big walk with my dog earlier and came across what I thought was a dead fox by the side of the road. On closer inspection, I seen it was actually 3 foxes all dead and looked like they had been chucked over this 6' fence.
If it was just the one I would have just thought - roadkill. But to have 3 of them next to each other like that, clearly someone has killed them and dumped them there.
I'm not sure if it's worth reporting to anyone? Any ideas or is this perfectly legal to do? |

I have no issue with hunting but I do have an issue with so called sport hunting. This is just killing for the sake of it and there is no sport in it.
However I can understand why people will kill foxes as vermin has one wipe out 30 of my chickens, killed the lot and didn’t eat a single one. |

"Hunting with dogs is the illegal part, foxes don't have protected legal status, they can be shot with land owners permission and the correct firearm licence."
It’s lambing season too, I’d imagine farmers are pretty busy with that and keeping foxes away from ewes and lambs. |
