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.
What, that many animals are opportunistic hunters and will often
take
any 'surplus' kills and bury them for later? Nope, 100% fact.

Once again facts are hard for you to stomach. While some here are
correct that foxes do bury their kills, that would depend on many
things. But it is a well known fact that foxes kill more than they eat:

Sorry for bursting your bubble.

I don't think there is disagreement here Fred. The Wiki article is North
American based but points to surplus kills in both intended and *frenzy*
attacks. Mink are said to do it here and I have seen dead Mallards laid
out in a row.
