The number of new cases of a disease in a population over a specific period of time is referred to as the incidence rate. It measures the frequency of new infections or occurrences of the disease within a defined population and time frame. This rate is often expressed as the number of new cases per a specific number of individuals (e.g., per 1,000 or 100,000 people) to provide context against the healthy population. This helps in understanding the impact of the disease on public health and in resource allocation for prevention and treatment.

Why should people stop fox hunting?

The fox is at the top of the food chain, this means it has no predators and as a result, no natural way of keeping the fox population healthy and thriving. Foxhunting is a humane way of natural selection where weak and old foxes are humanely culled resulting in a strong and healthy fox population without disease. Without fox hunting the fox population would not be a healthy one prone to disease and the lack of management could lead to disastrous consequences.
