Thanks everyone for your kind thoughts. It was simply human error, I don't have any hard feelings against the killer. It was just trying to get by just like all the rest of us. The weasels, foxes, coyotes, bobcat, hawks etc. all do a lot to keep varmints like mice, rats, voles and other little critters that can do a lot more serious damage than kill an occasional chicken. One of the reasons I like living here is that I can look out and see a bobcat or bald eagle. You just have to be smarter than them!
