Petition Repeal the hunting act

Although foxes are beautiful to look at we have to remember that for many they are vermin and can carry diseases. Plus the costs they cause to landowners with the slaughter of lambs etc. Foxes will kill chickens, ducks etc beyond what they need at the time. It is something that needs to be managed.

More details
