Foxes behaviour has definitely changed and they are well aware in the cities and towns it's easy food and there are no threats / predators. When I was a kid growing up in the country (40 years ago) you'd rarely see them at night and they where very cautious around people, now they are around a lot in the day and not bothered by people or domestic dogs, certainly not our black lab. I've seen foxes just off the Kings Road in central London. There has already been incidents of foxes coming into houses to look for food it's a natural progression from searching bins. If they become more aggressive it's going to be a big problem as they are so prevalent in urban areas.
