Having lived in the borough for 26 years, I have not once encountered a problem with foxes.

With a large, wildish back garden, and a fairly open door policy, I am well-qualified to comment.

I feel priviledged to spot these beautiful, shy creatures in my garden occasionally, and it is delightful to catch mother and cubs playing.

Foxes are an invaluable asset, because they will eat just about anything.

Rather than bag up leftovers to rot wasted in binliners, which create more garbage and adding to landfill quotas, would it not be a more intelligent approach to simply leave the food out for the foxes?

I feel sad for these petty-minded anti-lifers who only feel safe in an antiseptic, concrete world with no messy nature to disturb their drab and clinical perspective on life.

Something essential is missing here.

Perhaps they will be happy when the only connection we'll have left with the disappearing natural world will be via television, museums and zoos. They're on the wrong planet. Wildlife is vanishing - I encourage all to feed the foxes, birds, squirrels and rare hedgehogs too.

Welcome to planet Earth - stop littering the world with your verminous thinking and make a contribution to life.
