I say no, because we have a fat little pug who likes to frolic outside occasionally and I don't want to see him eaten.

We don't feed the foxen,” and he said, “I was throwing the apple at it to chase it away,” but Victor is a tremendous liar, and he didn't go to pick up the apple, probably because he knows that foxen love apple cider."
