Time to bring back foxhunting?

Here's a couple of scientific papers on Middens...

Hth.

I know what a midden is, everyday of my childhood my parents told me my room was one.

Rabbits tearing up graves?

Did it look like this...

?

Ok, what would interest a fox in a 150 year old grave apart from pretty bones with which to decorate its "earth"?

[minestrone]

There will still be matter on the bones of some of these graves. Even after 150 years.

Think beef jerky.

I'd rather not.

Seriously though, I doubt it was a fox.

Why are they digging holes in my garden?

I haven't buried any bodies there.

Er.

Recently anyway.

Apart from the ZeitMog & she's cunningly buried in the greenhouse where the foxes can't get at her.

Next door's old cat had to be buried 3 times coz the foxes kept digging the poor old thing up.

They(the foxes) can probably hear rabbits/moles etc scurrying about under the surface. A bit like arctic foxes can hear animals below the snow and ice.

You sure it was not a rabbit?

What about homosapiens?

Can we extend this cull to cats?

And while we're at it, can we include idiotic humans?

Oh Well done......

I feel saddened for the poor kids that were mauled, but I can’t seem to override my suspicions about this case. It’s very unusual fox behaviour. It all seems a bit McCann like. Does the family have a dog?

During what passes for my breakfast these days, foxy observed running up my garden path.

Got to the "patio" & suddenly saw me looking at it through the window.

Cue exit at great rate.

I'm not surprised, he's not used to green scaly things
