fox

It has been almost 20 years since hunting foxes with dogs was banned, but Mr John says he still finds himself in a "fight for survival" to keep elements of the sport he loves alive.

The initial source of anger then was the ban on fox hunting.

Carl, a kind raccoon who loves to collect things, lives in a fictional world called Fuzzytown with his friends, including twin rabbits, a helpful beaver, a reserved fox and an energetic squirrel.

Moments later, the smuggler - a tall figure with bright dyed blonde hair - turned away sharply, like a startled fox, and vanished down a narrow path into the woods.

It means “fox” in Italian, said Volpe, who has dual citizenship in America and Italy.
