Talk about a load of sensational drivel. I've never seen a totally black one but I've seen some that were fairly heavily flecked >> ( sort of black highlights). We used to see a fair amount of rabbits with black fur.

 

total drivel>>

The black fox is so rare, conservationists believe there are only a few left in Britain.

The animals are in fact the same species as the red fox. They are the same species but there are only a few black ones left in Britain due to them being hunted of extinction! Nonsense.

 

In Medieval times, the animals were seen as a sign of bad luck, and a sighting would spread fear through a village community.

They were also prized for their fur and were widely hunted – one of the reasons they are so scarce today. "I'm so feared of the black fox that I will get the fur from it and make myself a black fur coat out of it.

The whole article is just made out of a load of statements that immediately contradict the previous one.

Black red Gray all the same Vermin only good one is a dead one

I'm sorry, but I cannot agree with this sort of statement. This really helps no one and is a pretty poor way to depict gun owners. I know I may sound pompous but vermin or not, foxes are a part of our ecosystems, heritage and countryside. Their populations need to be controlled but not they don't need to be exterminated.

Totally agree, It would be a very sad day the last Fox is shot, but then I suppose for some it would make a good trophy for the hallway.

 

"The last fox ever in the uk. Shot by **** "

Chris I am not offended at all, and having seen myself 300 chickens (2 sheds 150 in each) slaughtered in 1 night I understand your feelings. But as a group of people (shooters) its about a control of vermin or pest, hence "pest control" it not total anialation and destruction of a species because it chooses to do what it does naturally and we as humans sometimes make it simpler for mr fox to exceed his normal kill number by creating a nice larder full of food.
