We see a lorry with 10,000 fox fur pelts and we may not be upset at

My grandfather was pretty upset when he came out one morning
to find that all his hens were dead, inside their henhouse
because a fox had managed to dig his way in overnight.

Foxes kill for amusement too you know.

sigh I though we had put that old chestnut to bed ages ago.

Foxes and many other animals are 'opportunistic hunters / scavengers
and will often kill / collect what they can and hide / bury some of it
to consume later.


Utter BS.

Complete fact, as you have since been told by someone who knows (a
farmer).



Anyone who has had their chicken coup raided by a fox will tell you
otherwise. If you were correct the fox would kill and take a few chickens
not tear a dozen to shreds and probably leave with no more than a leg going
by the bits left once collected up.
