Bear in mind that unless I am much mistaken, our esteemed journalist lives in Australia, where foxes are a non-native introduced species that wreaks terrible havoc on the native marsupial population and has driven many of them to the edge of extinction. Killing foxes in such a context can be a very ecologically friendly thing to do, and significantly safer than poison or any of the other methods of fox population control that would also run the risk of harming the natives.

You're quite right about foxes, but cats are worse.

This post was mainly about the odd word usage. I haven't heard snuck, skun or drug used on one sentence.

(Hear that? She said I'm esteemed.)

I've never run into "skun" before, and I've been to some pretty hick places. Snuck and drug, though, those're common...

You is esteemed!

And yeah, cats too...I love my cats dearly, but I'm quite aware that they are evil, diabolical killing machines that would wreak a vicious toll on songbird and small fuzzy thing populations if they had a chance.

Well, one of 'em would. The other one would probably be beaten to death by bilbies or something equally tragic.
