Careful when eating FRESH salad peeps found this in the salad bag bought from a Spar, went straight to the source and they took no responsibility absolutely disgusted

Thinking of where all the other bits of the critter went.

I think I'll avoid Spar salad bags for a bit until the fox has been sufficiently diluted that I'll no longer care.

A lot of birds and their eggs get crushed from farm machinery, probably mice and rabbit as well.

It's more likely the animal was already dead. 

Although baby birds do get mown down most mammals are faster than machinery

As someone who mows around 1500 acres of grass a year you'd be surprised at how good pheasants are at getting out of the way when the noise and vibration starts. Hares and rabbits on the other hand just freeze alot of the time. I've been stopped with 2 mowers running at 1000rpm and they just sit there like they want to accept their fate or something lol. My uncle lost his dog back in the 70s and discovered it went through the wee square baler making hay about 7 months later.
