RE: Red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) were introduced to Australia for sport hunting in the 19th century, but ended up being responsible for the extinction of several native species, including the desert rat-kangaroo (Caloprymnus campestris)

Foxes are my favorite animals so if Australia wants to get rid of them, they can send them to my place :P
And i think getting rid of them is not a solution since you've made a mistake by bringing them to Australia before calculating consequences.
Animals always suffer from mistakes of humanity.

Sort:  

I think that's because they are too smart to get close to a human :P
Well yes it's bad for koalas but that's the law of nature i think. We are trying to show our mistake as foxes' mistake.
I think we care about koalas more because they can be pets and foxes cannot. It's not a fight between foxes and koalas, it's a fight between justice and ego of humanity and ego will surely win :)

Yeah, they are really cute! I love seeing foxes in nature, but sadly they are very shy, do it does not happen all that often.

It's very unfortunate that they have to suffer because of humans, but on the other hand it's not fair for the koalas who get killed by them either..
