Campbellville and Margaret Fox bounties dropped County foxes can breathe a little easier County Council removed fox bounties at their county council meeting Wednesday by a vote The campaign to have bounties lifted was spearheaded by Reeve Mrs A MacArthur While she made it very clear that what she was proposing Interfere with anyone wanting to hunt foxes it would mean they are no longer paid to do it Strang opposition Mrs MacArthur resolution met strong opposition from her Deputy Reeve Don McMillan and Acton Reeve Dr F McMillan recalled the bounty being lifted about nine years ago and said the fox population multiplied rapidly He said he knew of cases In his own township where people have been laid up With rabies from fox bites for as long as three years Dr Oakes a veterinarian argued against lifting the bounty because he feared foxes would breed and rabies would run through the county A letter from the Oak wile Rod and Gun dub suggested rabies were not prevented by the presence of a bounty They suggested predators are necessary to keep the balance of nature Man has always upset the balance of nature simply because of his presence Predators such as the fox and brush wolf or coyote are needed to control the populations of rabbits rats mice and groundhogs which can become so easily When this happens those animals become a pest Predator population fluctuates As the feed animal population increases so does the predator population As the feed animal population decreases due to over predation and food and habitat shortages so does the predator population This is
