RSPCA attacks urban fox culling and relocation

RSPCA attacks urban fox culling and relocation

The RSPCA has attacked the culling of urban foxes, and also their relocation.

A man in Kentish Town, in north London, has been criticised by the RSPCA after employing a pest controller to cull foxes that had dug holes in his garden.

Spokeswoman, Sue Royal, said that killing foxes was inhumane, and only encourages animals from other areas to move in and take their place.

However, she also said that relocation of the animals was ineffective: “Moving foxes from one area to another is not appropriate in terms of disease management or considered humane.”
