SIR – John Robins of Animal Concern needs to get a life if he’s seriously considering contraceptives for deer!

He sounds very much like the anti-hunting brigade who take no account of the fact that foxes need culling because they have no natural predator. They average five cubs a year so at that rate they will soon be running riot through towns and villages.

Shooting deer is successful because of their size. But shooting foxes usually leads to a slow, lingering death for them in their dens.

If you really care about foxes and deer then you will want what is ultimately best for both species.
