Guys,
So have been told by a friend over the last few days they have had trouble with a fox at their small farm...
They had complained it had their chickens and requested its dispatch having been in Scotland and also busy the first couple of days this week and all chickens being history we agreed that later this week would be fine as surely no more damage would take place...
However to my shock woke up this morning rather late to several very distressed voicemails saying that this said fox this morning was seen entering their boot room/porch and then exiting with a very angry jack russel bitch in hot pursuit why??? Because the fox had one of her puppies, newly born... Luckily the bitch chased the fox down a valley towards their pond which was about 100m and eventually the fox dropped the puppy and back came bitch and puppy amazingly completely unharmed not a mark on it and is now just acting as normal back with the bitch...
Now was this fox taking the puppy as food or is their a possibility that this is some strange nature happening with the puppies being black and maybe this fox possibly vixen having lost its cubs etc and therefore decided she would try take one back i know its far fetched but why would a fox run 100m with a puppy and the puppy come back without a mark...
This was witnessed by two people i know very well and therefore believe everything that has been stated...
Thoughts guys???
Alex
