Stop Fox Hunting in Ireland and World!

               You may be surprised, and even frightened, to discover that foxes live in your 

               neighborhood, but these fears are almost completely groundless.Foxes aren’t 

               dangerous to humans, except when they are rabid (which is very rare) or are 

               captured and handled. Even then, it takes a lot of handling for a fox even to 

               defend himself by biting. Quite the opposite: the fox’s natural tendency is to 

               flee rather than fight.  Red foxes occasionally prey on small house cats or 

               kittens and will take small animals such as rabbits, guinea pigs, and poultry 

               when they are left outside unprotected. Both red and gray foxes will eat 

               cultivated grapes, raspberries, and other fruit, but they usually don’t bother 

               garden vegetables.In all, foxes do such little damage and cause so few 

               conflicts with people that we hesitate to characterize them as a problem at all. 

               Nonetheless, thousands are killed every year because they are perceived as 

               threats.People are frequently concerned about their pets being outdoors when 

               foxes are around. The best way to avoid encounters between foxes and pets is 

               to keep pets indoors, especially at night. If pets such as rabbits and guinea pigs 

               are kept outside by day, they should be housed in structures that are secure from 

               predators (birds and mammals). By and large, foxes seem to pay little heed to 

               adult cats, recognizing that they’re dealing with an animal often almost their 

               same size, with a well-deserved reputation for self-defense. Smaller adult cats 

               and kittens, however, could be easy prey for a fox. So may dog toy breeds.

They can’t find a fox roaming so they dig for one.

Barbaric 'fox penning' still legal in North Carolina

Coyotes and foxes used to ‘train' hunting dogs

December 2012. North Carolina, the state where 7 Critically Endangered Red wolves were ‘accidentally' shot in the last few months of 2012 (Out of a total wild population of around 110.), still allows a barbaric practice which has been banned elsewhere. Wild foxes and coyotes are trapped, captured, and then put into pens where hunting dogs are used to fight and kill them.

This practice, which is currently legal - but entirely inhumane - allows people to trap wild foxes and coyotes and place them in confined pens where hunting dogs are then "trained" to bay and kill them. Often the foxes and coyotes are mauled to death, sometimes after enduring several rounds of "hunts" and injuries.

Opponents of this barbaric practice claim that competitions are run in which the hunting dogs are scored on how quickly they can bay/kill the coyotes or foxes. It's a cruel thing to do to any wild animal, and it is akin to dog fighting which is illegal in the US, because all of the animals involved are canids. While foxes have been long used for this practice, we are told that wild coyotes are also now trapped for use in fox pens because, being more resilient, they live longer than the foxes through the "hound training."

THERE ARE SOME UNPLEASANT AND GRAPHIC SCENES IN THIS SHORT VIDEO, PLEASE DO NOT WATCH IF YOU WILL BE AT ALL OFFENDED.
