History of Foxes in England

Foxes are a very common wild animal in the UK. Their numbers are largely due to the environment, climate and ecosystems of the UK. The presence of foxes has become an integral part of the English rural landscape, but it has also sparked a lot of controversies.

The history of foxes in Britain dates back to the Middle Ages when people began to domesticate them for hunting. During the Victorian era in the 19th century, fox hunting became fashionable, with wealthy individuals joining hunting clubs and holding competitions. Gradually, however, such activities drew more and more criticism as their cruelty and unnecessary ness began to be called into question.

By the 20th century, hunting had been banned, but foxes continued to be a part of the British rural ecosystem. They can find food and shelter in all corners of the city and country. Although foxes have become relatively free from hunting and attack, they still attract controversy.

Many people consider foxes to be pests that can invade agricultural land and kill poultry. Plus, foxes have been thought to be vectors of infectious diseases for decades. These views are widely disseminated, especially in rural areas.

However, there are also those who believe foxes are useful animals that can help control populations of other pests, such as mice and rabbits. Plus, foxes are beautiful animals that many people love to see wandering through their gardens.

The controversy about foxes is also reflected in the slaughter of foxes. Some believe that action must be taken to limit fox populations in order to protect poultry and control their populations. Therefore, some people have used cruel methods, such as using poison or traps to catch and kill them. However, this practice is not only cruel but may also cause harm to other wild animals.

Looking for anecdotes about foxes in the UK?

(1) There is still a history of fox hunting in the UK, and many clubs have been formed to specialize in fox hunting. From 2004 to 2005, under the fierce conflict with the nobles, the British government passed the ban on fox hunting, and many hunting clubs were under pressure to switch to equestrianism. However, every year since then, some remote areas of the UK are still organizing fox hunting. The local police have been unable to completely eliminate this historical problem due to various objective reasons.

(2) The flamingos that bit the Queen of England are funny and bold, and these foxes have the audacity to play the idea of the Queen's pet. So even the flamingos carefully raised by the Queen of England cannot escape the predation of foxes, let alone the ordinary family houses of ordinary people?

(3) In the UK, foxes and pigeons can take buses. For those of us who have never lived in the UK, this is simply an anecdote.

(4) Harassing residents, there are news reports that foxes have a record of sneaking into houses and biting babies. The incident has also sparked debate over whether urban foxes should be culled.

Can only drive out the fox

The number of foxes in Britain could be controlled when they were able to hunt foxes. Now that foxes cannot be killed, they are no longer afraid of people. Some British netizens said that when they lived in the student dormitory, they dared to jump out of the window and tried to jump in, and even dared to yell at the car driving towards them in the middle of the road so that the car had to change its driving route for a fox.

It is well known that foxes are wild animals, and wild animals can easily carry various pathogenic bacteria from the wild. It is difficult for wild animals to find food in the wild. Their menus may be unimaginable to us, and they do not have traditional habits of hygiene. When a fox sneaks into your home or garden and wreaks havoc, it also poses a huge risk of bacterial infection for your family. So give up the idea of getting up close and personal with these foxes.
