In Australia, foxes are an introduced species. They are believed responsible for the complete extinction of at least 10 native Australian species, and may cause more before they and the Australian ecosystem adapt to one another.
In general, people consider foxes a nuisance because they hunt and will prey on chickens in a coop as readily as wild prey, and whenever human property, food and for-profit industries are at risk, wildlife tends to get targeted for extermination.
A number of foxes are on the endangered species list, as foxes are a popular target for sport hunters (hunters who kill for the thrill and for 'trophies' in the form of pelts or taxidermied carcasses, instead of for food).
Farnsworth F. Fox invented foxes in 1754 as a solution to the problem of henhouse overpopulation.

Foxes.
Up until less than a decade ago, the red fox had not been introduced into Tasmania. However, since it was introduced in 2002, it has spread quickly, causing a potential environmental disaster in that fragile island state of Australia. Although a task force was set up to try to contain the problem there is still evidence that foxes remain a problem in Tasmania. See the related link below for more information on the presence of foxes in Tasmania, and current eradication efforts.
The population of FIVE FOXes is 2,005.
