but they have attacked peoples pets.
Foxes are cold killers. They go into a frenzy and will kill everything around them when able. I once lost 14 ducks to one fox in a single night - it just tore them into bloody chunks and left the bits lying around.
Best solution is a shooting and poison cull. Kill all of the fuckers before one actually does attack a child. That will happen eventually as they get bigger & bolder.
Anyone who keeps livestock knows how foxes are.

If disturbed they won't go back though, hence the reputation as cold blooded murderers.

Foxes simply do not attack humans. Like cats, they just don't dig on dudes.
You seem to be fearmongering a problem that doesn't exist.
edit: also, cats are cold blooded killers. When I was younger I came home from school to find a birds nest on the lawn, with an entire family of birds neatly executed and arranged. It spooked me something rotten.

But don't make up tales about what they do and why.

my experiences with foxes have not been good. I can only base my opinions on experience. You are Chris Packham AICMFP

You implied something about fox behaviour that isn't true, something that is a common misconception, that they kill and leave the dead animals behind for shits and giggles.
They've just learn't to store food for the winter. When numbers get too high they inevitably come into conflict with people as they like a lot of the same food as us.
Chris Packham is ace. But I got this info from Sir Attenborough.
