No foxes!
We used to live in a house that had a very long garden with lots of shrubbery at the end of it. One year a fox made a den there and produced five cubs. If we got up very early, we could see them playing, and they were incredibly cute! However, the growing fox population in the town did pose a problem, and residents were asked not to encourage them.
When I moved to a smaller house in another town, I found that my neighbor fed foxes every evening, using little plastic dishes. The foxes would carry their supper under my fence, leave their dishes in my garden, and then drink from my pond. The garden was becoming unsightly and unpleasant to be in, and the problem became quite serious.
I tried talking to my neighbor, but she thought of these furry friends as her family and wasn’t about to stop feeding them. If I blocked the holes under the fence, they would be opened up again. I often prayed about this, as no one had any idea of how to deal with the situation, not even the people at the town council.
