    i work night shift and im on the road, i see hundreds of them every week, it beats me where they all manage to hide during the day time, i dont suppose town foxes have ever seen a chicken, they probably think they are animals kept in discarded KFC boxes, and as for a rabbit they wouldnt know what to do with it if they saw one.

    Nothing, because they will always find their way back to the easy pickings we leave for them!

    Unless we were to enforce everyone to use sealed refuse containers, and make dropping litter illegal, and actually enforce the law!

    Even then, scavenging for food is probably more energy efficient then hunting real food!

    FORESTS,What forests??? please take a look at a FORESTRY COMMISSION

    map of the UK. If we put the foxes back into our few remaining Forests, it would be mayhem!

    Because they would be practically shoulder to shoulder there, Town foxes and their country cousins are two distinctly different animals. check out the 'fox watch' site.

    Yes they will kill cats or even small dogs but not kids! I don't know where you live but your local animal control might have some traps you can borrow. The animals need to be humanely trapped and then released into the wild.

    Cats and Kids going missing - oh please. We're talking FOXES here NOT ruddy great Wolf packs. As for the bins - get a wheelie bin xxxx

    Humanity reaps what it sows. Take their homes and they'll come into yours.

    As for your bins, perhaps if you consumed less there'd be less for them to litter everywhere. Again, reaping what you sow.
