Also most animals in the wild will kill what they need and having 200 chickens in a 2 acre field is hardly what i call squahed into a small area either. This issue like all issues will have those that support it and those that do not, i support it you don't and by the sounds of it we both have differeing experiences supporting that stance.

Sorry Rizzy but there has never been a hunt round here and we've been infested with urban foxes for 40 years.The reason we get foxes here is the way in which we live cheek by jowl and there is always a bin or rubbish bag for them to raid and even saps on hand who feed them.The result is a bunch of mangy animals that are a threat to anyone trying to keep rabbits or hens or any kind of pet.
I'm also bemused by one friend who feeds the foxes but sets out a trap for his local squirrel?Weird!
