In other words, I don't think he just plays with dinosaurs and sabre toothed cats lol.
I'm going to have to ask him now, coz now I'm curious as to the answer.
What does your OH do that requires skull cleaning?
I've taken it further OT, oops.
I know I really shouldn't have asked on a thread about fox hunting We have bleached bones in the past using peroxide when I worked in pathology, but if your friend has ever done it with something more readily available then it would be good to know. OH doesn't do anything per se, but he likes to display the skulls of various animals he has shot and had been annoying me about a particular fox skull so it was in my head thinking about foxes.....
Apologies for OT discussion everyone

Is a hound killing a fox really any different from a fox killing a rabbit? Why is it ok for a fox to kill a rabbit, but not ok for a dog to kill a fox?

I will ask my friend when he's over here.

It may be unbleached

You might want to start running.
I suppose the argument can be made, that the fox and rabbit are links in a food chain, where the hound is not.
Lions will kill leopards to reduce competition, you could make the case for the fox and hound, if the hound was part of the natural chain but it is not.
Wolves and other large predators would do that job, but we cocked up the system.
Interesting thought though.

I'm pretty sure my dogs would kill a fox if they had they chance, I know they certainly get very excited and want to take off when they catch scent of a fox but I would be absolutely mortified if they ever caught one and I certainly dont encourage it.
