Throw glacier mints at it.

he's right!
I remember seeing on telly that a polar bear standing on top of a giant mint will take care of an annoying fox every time.
Trouble is, how do you then get rid of the bear? He'll be straight round to the wrapped chocolate biscuit section of your local shop for his supper and I bet that they send you the bill! The mint might make an interesting garden bench cum pretentious garden sculture.

if you can make an otherwise boring job entertaining, why not? shooting is a LOT more fun than laying down poisons, which is also far more cruel.

surely it's better for me to kill the local foxes and enjoy, than force someone like you to try and control the fox population by pink and fluffy methods which would be a lot more work.

The pepper method only works in conjunction with heavy stones, fox smells pepper, sneezes involuntarily, headbuts rock, knocks self out, then you kill it with a blunt object while it's unconscious.

You originally said you kill things for fun though and whether or not it's of some utility I find it disturbing that a person can find killing animals "fun".

oh right, i see your point, may i qualify my initial remark. i kill vermin for fun, and animals which it is legal to shoot at certain times of the year, like pheasants. It is perfectly reasonable to enjoy shooting, whether it be pheasant, grouse or clays.
 
Sure, there's nothing wrong with enjoying shooting. I'm going clay-shooting next week, in fact. But do you have to shoot animals? It's not as if shooting a pheasant is even a challenge - they're practically throwing themselves in front of cars, so they're not the most intelligent or agile of birds.
 
'Fraid I shoot birdies too - Admittedly, pheasant aren't the most challenging, but Grouse, Woodcock and Pigeon etc... are.

Shooting an urban fox is just unneccesary though.

They are also bred for the purpose. Not that that excuses everything, but game birds are bred to hunt, and also to be eaten.
