I wonder if the mesh was manufactured in China. There is a high quality mesh made in Africa but I bet the new stuff that was installed was Chinese-made or installed by some bidder who skimped on the correct spacing of fasteners.

Very unlikely. It is not at all unusual for a fox or a domestic dog to kill everything in a pen. My neighbor’s dog got into my poultry pen and killed or maimed every single bird, just its idea of fun. There were wings, heads, feathers and legs everywhere. Another dog killed two turkeus, each well over 50 lbs, and didn’t bother eating anything but a mouthful. Canines are like communists, they get very happy and excited when they taste blood, they just can’t control themselves, all restraint disappears.

Trump’s fault. He gave a speech and next thing you know, a red fox breaks into the National Zoo and goes on a rampage.

Well, we’ve had rabies in a fox very recently in DC; so I wonder.

The bag of corn was left untouched.

What is with all these foxes in WDC?

The one that bit the Secret Service at the white house was rabid.

Trump was unable to drain the swamp, maybe the foxes can.

The fox on Capitol Hill actually bit about NINE people. I believe it was a female, and I don’t doubt that there are others in DC that are rabid.

We have foxes all over the Metro area.
