They have become the raccoons of the UK. Boldly going into gardens (yards), killing pets, falconer's birds (while the falconer runs into the house for a short errand).

I've seen a young fox loafing about in broad daylight under a tree. There are reports of urban foxes getting into people's houses and biting children. They do like to get into rubbish bags(we leave these out overnight for the binmen). There have been murmurings about getting the urban population down but no real drive for it. Overall, we are well-disposed towards urban foxes, we don't see many wild mammals apart from grey squirrel. Though I did see a hedgehog a few years ago. <br />Fox hunting still continues. The hounds are distracted from drag hunting if they scent a real fox.The police turn a blind eye.<br />The concern is more about chickens than sheep; small-scale chicken-keeping is increasingly popular.
