The stupidity of the hunting ban
The hunting ban in London has led to an increase in the urban fox population and a decline in the rural fox population. The foxes in London are described as being sick, ill, and mangy, posing a potential risk of disease transmission to humans. The ban, attributed to financial incentives to politicians, has disrupted a traditional method of controlling fox populations that has been in place for thousands of years, resulting in diseased urban foxes and diminishing rural populations. Fit and healthy foxes in rural areas tend to outwit hunters, while the sickly urban foxes face challenges and pose a risk to humans.
