The Law of the Pack.
For a long time Foxes have decided to treat my compound as their home.
Last spring a new litter emerged. On the night of April 14th 2018 (14/4/18).
This was the night the US, UK and France conducted airstrikes against Syria. Allegedly in response to the Syrians using Chemical Weapons in Douma.
That is an allegation which has now been wholly discredited by the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW).
Regardless it created a very strange evening for me. Inside I would watch war. Then step outside for a cigarette and watch cute Fox cubs tumble about as they learnt to use their legs for the first time.
An odd contrast of;
War/Cute.
War/Cute.
War/Cute.
This spring one of the females in that Douma litter had a litter of her own. It was plagued by birth defects.
One of was completely paraplegic. Reduced to dragging itself around on it's front paws. Almost exactly like; "Jesse." The paraplegic dog of; "Herbert the Pervert" from the US TV Show; "Family Guy."
The others though have continued to grow and strengthen into adolescence.
Last night one of the males must have tried to challenge the pack alpha for dominance. So the pack alpha killed him.
Leaving me with the task of contacting local council sanitation services.
Then hanging the dead out on the gatepost.
