Lloyd - This sounds like a story from a sheepman with government insurance. Did you actually see this happen with your own eyes? (I don't mean see the foxes, see the damage.) Here in the states we pride ourselves on how frugal our foxes are: they don't kill for sport. (The weasel, however, killed 60 3 week old barred rocks in one night and, as far as I could tell, ate ONE.) -Allan
