You obviously do not have foxes around you, they break into chicken
runs
and
kill large numbers which they then leave, they do not store them to
eat
later, cats catch birds and play with them, they rarely eat them,
although
I
have known my cats ocassionaly to eat one, but as they are well fed
they
usually leave them, a nieghbour of mine tried to keep ducks and the
foxes
used to steal the eggs and leave them all over my garden together
with the
uneaten dead ducks.
We have foxes regularly in our garden.
And we keep free range chickens.
It's not difficult to look after chickens properly, and put them away in
the
evening, in a fox-proof run.
If I make a mistake, and the foxes kill the chickens then I would consider
it my fault; not the foxes.
I don't see why trying to get food to eat should be a capital offence.
Just because you see wildlife nearby does not necessarily mean it's a
problem.

Quite.
