[post_page_title]One strategy[/post_page_title]
A common strategy to rid of these ‘pests’ is to cull them. This means that hundreds of foxes lose their lives at the hands of humans, in an attempt to decrease their population.
This is frequently done by farmers and hunters protecting their livestock; however, it isn’t uncommon to see average members of the public following suit. This is because they find them a nuisance for raiding trash cans and waking people up during the night with mating calls and squeals.
