Foxes to be trapped in Pittsylvania County board acts on rabies threat
Pittsylvania County supervisors voted to urge the State Health Department to send its predator rabies control program to the county to trap foxes skunks and groundhogs with landowner permission required. The move followed a public hearing where fox hunters opposed the plan while petitions signed by 672 residents urged action to curb the fox population and reduce rabies risk. Dewey Hunt opposed the measure along with Elliott McCormick who said he supported it only if rabies fears were addressed.
