Excerpt:
The campaigner, who laid flowers and a memorial at the site after the first fox was found dead, said: “The decapitated fox cub was put in a shallow grave – kids could have seen it.
“People who attack wildlife often progress to pets or even humans.
“It’s very eerie and weird. I found it so shocking and gruesome.
“These fox killings are wildlife crimes and the killer needs to be found and held accountable for their barbaric acts.
“Foxes are so persecuted – only one in five makes it to their first birthday.
“Their lives are tough and short.”
A spokeswoman for Rustington Parish Council said police were alerted immediately after the rags and the decapitated foxes were found, and the foxes’ bodies were removed straight away.
