'chemically adjust their diet'? Haha! I'd be interested to find out, Squirrel, exactly how you intend to do that? Maybe you, as a woodland creature, could come up with a scheme involving your little bushy-tailed pals helping distribute impotency pills to their little brushy-tailed pals.
Lee_c, if you want to pick on a petty point, for YOUR information, stalking, the usual way of shooting a wild animal, is generally carried out whilst the stalker is lying flat on the ground, therefore the 'marksman' would be lower than the fox. If you hadn't previously shown your ignorance by suggesting that towns and cities are the only places of civilisation and that everyone who lives in the countryside is a 'hillbilly' and a 'moron', then you showed it again. This is a prime example of the way, I'm sorry to say, that the 'anti' side of this debate, which purports to be about animal welfare, seems to be largely based on ignorant assumptions and prejudices rather than facts.
