Controversial fox hunting in February: Why are hundreds of thousands of animals shot in Germany every year?. In the last hunting season in Germany, over 400,000 foxes fell victim to hunting.

During the so-called Fox Weeks in February, hunters organize themselves into groups to hunt foxes together and kill as many of the predators as possible within a short period of time. The German Hunting Association (DJV) argues that there are numerous reasons for the reduction in the fox population.
