Kindle Notes & Highlights
Once the real creature displaces the mythological fox of hunters’ lore, and a vague sense that ‘populations must be controlled’ is replaced with scientific knowledge, the question of whether arbitrary cruelty is acceptable rather answers itself.
Environmentalists who are chill the very people whose support is most critical. Education is more effective than alienating the public with abrasive name-calling – a lesson some animal rights activists would do well to remember.
We whose world overlaps that of foxes – binmen, bankers, the bankrupt, golfers, mothers caught in traffic on the school run, even criminals. You are the people who foxes tolerate as neighbours. The question is now, will you tolerate them?
