Why do we contemplate doing such horrific things to our own beautiful nature. Such a stunning animal... brutally mutilated. Perhaps the perpetrator was planning on keeping the skin but got disturbed in the process and fled this gruesome scene. Perhaps it was just for fun. It makes me contemplate just how cruel human nature really is.
This disturbing discovery follows the horrific news of the giant fox slaughtered in Maidstone. The town trapped the fox after an elderly cat was discovered dead. How do we even know the fox was the culprit? The cat may simply have died from the cold and then was scavenged by the foxes. Who gives us the right to say what animals must live and die?
Another disturbing fact is the dead fox is pictured hanging from a ladder...next to a seven year old boy. What are we exposing our children to? The article continues to explain the animal was 'humanely' killed, yet under the photo it describes the animal as being shot. If we shot another human would that be described as humane killing? No. We would be sentenced to life in prison. So what gives us the right to shoot these animals?
