The foxes around our lair house are beginning to show remarkable intelligence. They steal whisky from my neighbors garage (he tried to blame me - HA!), have begun to use bait and string to catch delicious bunnies, and I even saw them playing cards (I believe the game was canasta) at the park last weekend.

As long as they can be kept as allies, I don't have a problem with this. They are quite resourceful after all. But if they step out of line, even just a little, I'm going to drop the hammer and have them captured and shipped to Delaware.

You just can't be too cautious about tool using mammals with enhanced problem solving skills.
