Recent anti-fox letters to the Guardian have been most informative.

We are told that foxes can climb 8ft fences, dig underneath 5ft deep foundations and kill, not to eat, but purely for pleasure.

I shall be keeping an eager eye open to see this magnificent fox that is strict vegetarian, a paid up member of the British Field Sports Society and drives a JCB with ladder racks.

I would suggest that he be shot on sight but if he is half as clever as we are led to believe, then he will doubtless be wearing a bulletproof vest.
