I would like to make a comment regarding the fox and people's gardens.

We all know that foxes dig in gardens, but they are looking for the earthworm to have as a meal.

Earthworms come out at night, so does the fox, so maybe a dog biscuit left out could well be found much more to the liking of the fox and much better for the gardens.

Foxes will catch and kill rats and mice. I would sooner share my garden with 10 foxes than one rat. Foxes do not carry the health risk that rats do.

So why not find out what makes a fox tick and see what a useful asset they really are.
