  There are perhaps different drivers on this issue depending on whether it is the Urban or Rural Fox population under discussion.
  As far as the Urban Fox population is concerned a cull must be considered. In the normal course of events ( I assume) the population is bound to grow beyond it's means before natural mortality curbs the numbers and there will be those in the community who would rather feed them than allow them to stagger off by way of starvation.
  I am sure the niche in nature that allows the Fox to thrive also allows for a varied diet. Scavenging from domestic waste is bound to be costly in many ways and where I live letting nature take it's own course and it's toll on the Park Ducks and Geese is a non starter.
  Even if, by some miracle, the Fox could be encouraged to live off the feral Pigeon, and there are signs that pigeon is on the menu, the fox population would still grow beyond it's, and our, means.
  Maybe it is time for the introduction of the 'Contraceptive Food Pellet'.
