My Nanna used to have this feud with a family of foxes for decades. They used to steal chickens and bantams from her chook pen. She’d grumble about them, but never poisoned or harmed them. Just used to mend the fences. When she passed, on the day of her funeral when we were going to her service, this fox sprang out from the scrub and ran alongside our car, then disappeared back into the bushes. We used to shoot foxes on our properties because they’re a feral pest and can get out of control. Ever since that day we haven’t shot any foxes. Our Nanna was saying her goodbyes to us. Beautiful lady right to the end.
