    Oh.… this is an issue I find sickening, I have been feeding and looking after foxes for about eight years...they live in the bottom of my garden because they have been driven out of their natural habitat by hunters. I live in a busy part of town and nowhere near the countryside, but you can see the foxes like dogs walking the streets at night. I'll see what I can come up with for the contest.
