<p>Wildlife management is a devolved matter so this reply relates to England only.</p><p>
</p><p>Defra does not offer incentives to help control fox numbers in England and
currently has no plans to control the number of foxes.</p><p> </p><p>Defra's general
policy is that individuals should be free to manage wildlife within the law. The fox
is not a protected species so the decision to control them lies with the owner or
occupier of the property where the problem occurs.</p><p> </p><p>Natural England,
on Defra’s behalf, has a team dedicated to providing wildlife management advice to
the public, both through written material and directly by telephone.</p>
