The French love le renard, at least when they are reading books to kids. Indeed, fox characters abound in French culture, emblazoned on kids' pajamas, in cartoons, as plush stuffies, on plates and mugs and more.
But, the meaner truth is that in 91 of 101 departments in France, the fox is considered a "species likely to cause damage"-in other words, pests-and foxes can be hunted in France from June to March.
The reason for this is that in rural areas many people consider foxes to be thieves and tricksters, they'll steal their chickens and rabbits, and get away with it.
