Proposed changes in future fox hunting The Minister of the Ministry for the Environment will be asked to change the arrangements of fox hunting in Iceland, if the proposed parliamentary resolution will be passed on by the Parliament. The aim of the proposal is to keep fox population within normal limits. Those who wrote that proposals thinks that the fox hunting has not been good enough organized in recent decades, and along with the protection of foxes in certain territories, has led to excessive expansion of fox population. To support this proposal they point out that in for example in the West Fjords, foxes have made much damage to birdlife because of the protection of foxes and no organized hunting.
