A couple of wild foxes have killed and eaten most of the 100 hens a farmer had been raising on a slope near Shenyang, capital of Liaoning province, to feed a pregnant female fox. Li, the farmer, was angry, but could do nothing in response because the animals are protected by the State. "I lost at least 10,000 yuan ($1,400) due to the rampant foxes," he said, urging media on Monday to help him get compensation from the authorities. However, according to local law, hens and other domestic fowl can only be raised in a henhouse to protect the environment, which means Li will get no money. (Shenyang Evening News)
