Why seek to control populations of foxes, deer, hares, and mink in England and Wales? · A number of interest groups seek to control populations of foxes, deer, hares and mink for various, and often for several, reasons, summarised in Chapter 2. These reasons should be considered in the context of: ¨ An often ambivalent attitude to the species and its control. ¨ The general lack of a simple relationship between damage and abundance. ¨ Differences between perceived and actual damage sustained. · Foxes are widely controlled because they are perceived to kill livestock (lambs, poultry and piglets), game (including hares) and other ground-nesting birds. ¨ Fox predation on livestock is usually low level, but widespread and sometimes locally significant. Evidence is strong that fox predation has a significant impact on wild game populations, but less so for other ground-nesting birds.

This is a website where I write about as many breeds as possible to try to give people a more informed view of specific breeds so that they can choose the breed that best fits in with them and their family. 3 Like you, I am a massive dog lover and it really upsets me to see so many dogs put into shelters through no fault of their own. Often they are just not the perfect match for the family who chose them. A heart-breaking estimated 6-8 million dogs spent their lives in shelters in the US in 2012! :( Choosing to share your home and life with a dog is a big decision which affects the entire family – including the dog who you're going to be adopting! I hope you find this little book useful in helping you make the correct decision.
