Disappearing Foxes

We live on a large thoroughbred stud and the area is not hunted for foxes or hares. I was never against hunting and actually hunted in my younger days for seventeen seasons.

Before the ban the stud had lots of foxes, quite a few hares and very few rabbits.

Since the ban the number of hares and rabbits have increased dramatically, but it is rare now to see or even smell a fox. (I say smell as all country people know that smell well!)

Strange that you bring in a ban and what you are protecting disappears.
