Well stated!
Chickens are restricted to their coops of origin (except
when there is a catastrophe and they find themselves let loose
upon the land, AKA "displaced persons"), but
foxes can roam anywhere. Of course, we now know enough
about ecology to know that without any natural predators,
the foxes can over-reproduce, so that there are not
enough chickens to go around, thus leading to
"Darwinean corrections" which even hurt some foxes.
What forces that *have force* are working for a "Peaceable Kingdom"?
My spirits will be lifted proportionate to any positive info
anyone can supply in this regard.
