Our neighborhood here in northern Illinois has a den of foxes that run wild and get all the neighborhood dogs in a howling and barking frenzy.
LOL, I like that.
“Vulped”!
Raccoons on the other hand will kill everything...and might not eat anything.
Bobcats...will just take what they want...and leave the rest alone.
Just what I thought he would.
“Impossible, animals don’t kill for sport.”
You don’t have a cat, do you? I sort of feel sorry for mice at times. Peeve (Yes, my pet Peeve) will catch it, let it run across the room, catch it again, play with it and repeat until it dies from torture.
Preposterous. Canines don’t kill for fun they kill to eat.
/enviro whacko wolf supporters.
oops. #27. But I did add the /s tag.
Here in DuPage when the coyotes get to howling it makes our dog nuts.

Did the zoo at least get a new fox exhibit out of this mess?
Yes, it’s strange. Wouldn’t killing without eating quickly deplete the local food source and make whatever animals that remain more elusive?
“Here in DuPage when the coyotes get to howling it makes our dog nuts.”
I know. I’m in DuPage, just down North Avenue from you.
Pratt’s Wayne Woods is full of them. They prey on the geese and the occasional Sandhill Crane.
A friend of ours had her little dog picked off in her backyard while she was standing about 10 feet away. The people across the street nearly lost their Teacup Chihuahua to an owl not long ago.

Has Anthony Weiner been in town ... he has been mistaken for a fox before?
Flake off, Buddy, or I'll sic my butch partner on you!
No surveillance cameras and no night watch monitoring those cameras? Sounds like an Epstein setup.

We have lot’s of wildlife where I live in Montan. Years ago we had a BIG fox come by for a few days...It was after our cat, Oslo, but he was a BIG boy himself and he was staring down the fox. I ran outside and the fox went away. He came back everyday for a few days and then - poof, he was gone. I know someone shot it. I had my rifle at the ready for several weeks and missed him twice.
As far as owls go, the same cat, Oslo, would not come in one evening and I knew where he was in the field so I began walking down to him. It was 10:00 PM and just had turned dark. I was 150’ from him when he let out a scream and a Great Grey Owl had tried to grab him. He had a cut on his back and hid under the porch for 1/2 hour before letting me take him in.
We keep our cats in now days until we go outside with them for a walk.
Honestly, I was thinking about this story as a metaphor for our southern border.
