Back to seriousness.
Nobody in their right mind would say " oh, we've got a family of the cutest little rats in our garden we leave food out for them every night". But foxes and badgers, because they don't have naked tails are considered cute and have been encouraged so of course they're not afraid of people. Why should they be.
Country foxes, even where they're not hunted, know better than to come near people. I live in a small country town. There's rarely food litter laying around and we have wheelie bins and litter bins with narrow slit tops - the occassional young fox may sneak through, but rarely. They could come, there's plenty of cover, but no reason for them to do so.
