I hate foxes

Well, we had this beautiful white rooster and then the fox ate it, but luckily we had one of his offspring that was also a white rooster so we put him with the hens and now he has disappeared. I blame the fox that has been hanging around:mad: And this morning I had to get up at six o'clock because a fox was terrorising our chooks, but luckliy we have a great guard dog and she chased it away and we also have an alpaca which just stood there (great help he was, but he is still gorgeous). Foxes are so annoying! The last fox killed a number of our chooks and gave our dog mange which cost a lot to get checked out and fixed and the poor darling had sores all over her.
Foxes really drive me up the wall and the worst part is their not even ment to be in Australia:mad:

My hubby forgot to fasten the coop one night a couple of years ago and the fox killed 6 hens and ripped a cock to shreds (he survived but needed a lot of stitches). They are ruthless killers.
We suffer with the additional insult in that some well-meaning but very misguided townies catch the urban foxes and release them into the countryside. This is unfair to us (of course), but also to the urban foxes who are unafraid of people and are generally relying on feeding from the back of MacDonalds etc. In the country they then try (and often succeed) in killing farm chickens, but they are bold and a lot of farmers have guns, AND we have a hunt nearby (Not that I personally feel the way foxes are ripped apart by the dogs can ever be justified).
