Littlehampton Academy Kills Vixen and THREE Cubs...because they are foxes.

AS crimes against wildlife continue to rise in the UK this is how one academy teaches children to disrespect wildlife and kill it.  I am no longer being polite

Email to M P Morgan Principle at Littlehampton Academy.

Mr Thomas.

I am contacting you regarding the rather disgusting decision taken to shoot a vixen and three cubs.

I began the British Fox Study in 1976, I was a UK Police Forces exotic animals advisor from 1977 onward and I have contributed to various technical papers on wildlife.

When I heard of your plans I had assumed that you would actually make a sensible decision since the killing of foxes only means that others will move in. That is a fact of nature and I note that you are attempting to become a "Forest Academy" -by killing natural British mammals? Are you even slightly aware of the dangers and risks a fox faces on a daily basis to even live to the average age of five years?

That it bears cubs, feeds them and raises them where it feels safe to then be slaughtered ...you dislike them. Were you present at their killing? Did you inspect the bodies? Or did you leave that to someone else? I assume that the new foxes that move in will also be killed?

Never once have I taken advantage of "noted naturalist", however, in this case I shall make it very clear to everyone and anyone just why your academy is unfit to be a "Forest Academy".

"Reprehensible", "heinous" -I can think of plenty of polite words to use but the truth of the matter is that the actions of your academy were downright disgusting and that is how you see fit to act after complaints about the plans from parents? This is how you teach the future generation to act towards any animal or thing it finds "a bit messy"? Kill it.

Your academy and the position it has taken on this matter are deserving of much stronger words.

Please pass along the email because if as many people as possible inundate the man and the academy NOW then it may insure that any future foxes are not killed office@tla.woodard.co.uk
