That is one of the calmer ones. First of all, it is not within Boris's jurisdiction to order a cull of anything, even over-excited tweeters. (I wish!) Pest control is the job of local councils, the Mayor just advises. Secondly, I live right by Hampstead Heath and let me tell you, this problem is out of control. It is impossible to leave any pet in a cage in your garden, however strongly you padlock the cage, Somehow wily foxes get into the cage and slaughter the occupant. They are bold as brass, and fearless, peeing and pooing lavishly over your lovingly styled garden, to mark out a territory they consider theirs not yours. They do go into houses, so anyone living on the ground floor cannot keep their patio door open in hot weather, or leave their baby or kittens in the garden..... They are breeding like rabbits, and advertise the fact lustily at night. The whole Heath is rabid with rutting foxes by the sounds of moans squeals that could come from an X rated movie........... They need to be culled. When will people stop this sentimental nonsense? When some dear little toddler who saw the Mr. Fox cartoon rushes over and starts petting a fox and gets it's hand bitten off I suppose. And then the animal nuts will say "oh you shouldn't alarm them."
