Terrierman - Working Terriers / Running with the Fox (1477 words)
MacDonald is a population biologist and his goal is to understand the dynamics of fox life, from food and mating to migration and mortality.
MacDonald does not deny that fox may kill a few very young (and perhaps already fatally weak) sheep, but such attacks are so rare they have never been filmed and are statistically negligible.
MacDonald notes that in the fell and upland regions, where fear of fox predation is highest, sheep mortality is often 25% with many lambs born starving due to over-grazing abetted by a government policy that subsidizes overly-dense sheep production.
