    …if you don’t see your native wildlife because it’s all been eaten by foxes…

    I’m already starting to see this. Not long ago I’d see 5 possums on an average night walk. Now I’m lucky to see one, and I keep finding tufts of possum fur scattered around the place. The foxes are very good at making an exit as soon as their reflective eyes light up.

    It’s unfortunate that in suburbia that we can’t just go out with an IR-scoped bolt-action rifle at night.

      I guarantee foxes can breed faster than you can keep up your masturbatory Jeeves & Wooster meets Splinter Cell fantasy.
