Tory MP calls for "all wild animals" to be culled:

“Because if they don’t their health deteriorates. They don’t have any predators in today’s world. Foxes, deer, badgers. We don’t want to wipe them out, we just simply want them controlled.

“This is just pure common sense.”

(I think we could sensibly start by culling the implausibly-named Richard Grosvenor Plunkett-Ernle-Erle-Drax, MP. )

@cstross The guy isn’t wrong. This is pretty well established wildlife management practice. Mostly this role is performed by recreational hunting here in Colorado. They do the math annually for species, sex, area and make a lottery.
