Chicken killers caught ( girls don't look)

I have had my chickens vanishing. Yes, I locked up my chooks at night.

I thought I had a fox you will soon see I had a pack.

Greenies don't even start These monsters were bought here from England & are killing all our native wild life & birds.

A dead Fox is a good thing.

For the City folk, I know you love your lamb but did you know Foxes rip the tounge out of baby lambs, leaving them to bleed to death.

Brutle but true.

Foxes, Rabbits, Sparrows & Starling are England curse & a crime to Australia.

Your thoughts on this is welcome.

I am sorry for the reality of the photo but this is the REAL world.

They're a pest along with all the other feral animals ruining our native fauna and flora.

Jeff, That was only 2 hours work at midnight. However I can also report a farmer 10 km from me went on a rampage last week and killed 35 in one night. Seems to hardly make a dent with them, they breed so damned fast.

I'd wear a fox fur coat.
I hate crows for brutalising new born sheep. Nature can be cruel.

Yep - good on you Doug. These *******s get to young goats and sheep in and around my place near Cooma too.

To top them off, I've also got a major rabbit warren problem on one of my main fence lines on a creek boundary.

Rabbits and foxes - thanks England. All very sporting.

It's serious business.
There's a lady land owner around here who was fixing her fences when she saw one wild dog, then two, then three, then she got in her car before the rest of the pack turned up. She would have been dog meat if she'd stayed.

Nettie in Victoria the bounty is no more. Stupid.

We also have feral cats. I'm just glad I have a few guns as if the Greenie had their way we would all be gunless and the ferals animals would run wild.

Start up fox hunting over here in Oz, I say. Might as well have a bit of fun whilst polishing them off eh what???
Riding to hounds, Gadzooks, what fun
I remember one Boxing Day hunt I attended in Blighty, and after they had passed around the stirrup cup a few times, the Master of Hounds (the local Magistrate and pork pie factory owner, ) got on one side of his horse, and promptly fell off the other
Those were the days

All very nice but NOT a local photo is it.

I have nothing against Foxes personally, My ***** is they don't belong here & the wild life that does belong CAN'T deal with them.

My dad and I go pig and rabbit shooting regularly, but if we see a fox or wild dog we quickly forget the rabbits and pigs. The only thing that takes precedence over the foxes and wild dogs are the cats. Oh lordy I will happily (and have) stalked one for miles just to get a crack at them. Horrible animals.
