As you know, bat-eared foxes have very strong pair bonds, and the yapping mate that comes up at the end is really not having a good day.
If we can say that animals can feel extreme anguish and alienation, then we can clearly see it here.

Sad for all those that are left alone, whether by the predator or the human killer.
For once, Peter, I agree with you. There’s really no good reason for a person to kill a bat-eared fox, unless you want to eat it. They don’t cause any problems. They live on termites!
I saw a documentary on bat-eared foxes a few years ago. It focused on a family, and the biggest problem they had was that the black-backed jackals would try to kill them. It was the same story one sees in Yellowstone about wolves and coyotes. It’s just these canids were much smaller.
And so the cycle continues—life into death into life.
