The fox is thought to have entered the henhouse at an agricultural school at dusk last week and become trapped inside by light-controlled automatic hatch doors that close when the sun goes down.
Students at Le Gros Chêne school in Brittany discovered the foxs body the following morning when making their rounds to check on the chickens.
Fox in the henhouse. Revenge time!..... ......Poor fox trapped by automated farming.
Feel free to connect this in any way you please to U.S. politics......

(28,094 posts)I truly like foxes and have had an unusually social little one visit my sweet, docile dog and myself several times and actually join us on our nightly walks, keeping several yards distance, of course. Foxes are not-too-distant cousins of our pets, ya know.
My sister raises chickens and places them in a higher pecking order than her dogs and cats! Seriously not kidding! She loves her chickens more!
Another thing: I'd never eat a member of the canine family. But chickens? Well....
So, I'm sad for the fox.
Here's what our tiny, cat-sized grey fox looked like.
And they can climb trees...
Our fox stopped visiting after we got our 2nd dog, a vicious predator who even goes after neighborhood kitties!
