You obviously do not have foxes around you, they break into chicken
runs and
kill large numbers which they then leave, they do not store them to eat
later, cats catch birds and play with them, they rarely eat them,
although I
have known my cats ocassionaly to eat one, but as they are well fed they
usually leave them, a nieghbour of mine tried to keep ducks and the foxes
used to steal the eggs and leave them all over my garden together with
the
uneaten dead ducks.

they do it for perfectly
reasonable ( in their world view) survival instincts, you should not
anthropomorphise Oz.


If they killed for survival why not kill the chickens/ducks and eat
them one
at a time, killing large numbers means there is no food for them later
on.

You know nothing about what I do and don't have around me! I have lived
around foxes all my life!

I DID NOT, REPEAT, DID NOT SAY THAT THEY DID NOT DO WHAT YOU DESCRIBED.
I stated that this is not what were were discussing.
