Thousands? Are you absolutely sure about that? Try a few hundred.

I am absolutely sure -- once Man domesticated animals and contained them
they became a target to otehr predators
Man did that thousands of years ago

The idea that some local populations may now be hunting in packs in
British Cities is case in point

It is only an idea. Nothing has been proven. Probably some dim
townies see a vixen and cubs together and ring the daily mail to
repost a fox pack.

I know that the folks that reported it to me have significantly more
intelligence than that.
I did say "may"
You may only meet "dim townies" but there are many who live in a town or
city who are very well versed in the natural order
