Foxes are known killers of certain creatures. What is wrong with protecting the innocent lives of other animals from the foxes? Have you seen how savage and violent some animals in the wild can be?

@alan650111 Sound like Speciesism...

Nature is about survival, no animal is doing anything wrong apart from us humans were the most dangerous animal, killing for more reasons other than for food and defence unlike all the others, wild animals have to kill to survive, its the survival of the fittest, life has always been about that ,since we have became more domestic we have just forgotten about it

I don't know, the only thing the trailer showed was a lama scaring one fox away. And that fox was not even going for the chickens. There is apparently a lot challenge trait where foxes will shop up so I'm guessing there will be a way so you can protect your chickens from foxes.

The bunnies who roam in the wild shouldn't really need to be protected as in the trailer, they couldn't survive in the wild if that would be the case and the foxes need to eat too.

They shouldn't attack chickens though because the foxes destroy everything and the chickens are completely helpless so they need to be protected.

I am happy llamas can spit on the those pesky foxes trying to kill those poor things. They wreak havoc on chickens and other creatures in real life.

Foxes are predators. Silly humans are making it easy for them to get prey by putting it in a box (yes, a big box, but still a box.) Not saying that people shouldn't protect their livestock from predation by wild animals, but at the same time, you can't blame the wild animals for taking advantage of easy targets.

They're just trying to survive and take care of their little ones too.

LOL..I had a feeling everybody would misunderstand what I was trying to say in my post. I was simply trying to point out that all animals have their own value and that it's very silly to get upset that a llama will be able to spit on a fox as a way to protect another animal in a game. I have nothing against foxes!

Foxes eat what they kill, they do not hunt for sport.

I repeat what I said on the other reply. My post was not meant to be against foxes but to simply point out that it's silly to get upset that one animal which is a llama is able to spit on another animal which is the fox as a way to protect other animals. It's just a game. The animal kingdom plays by its own rules in real life. Let The Sims just be silly as it is and no need to get too worked up over a digital animal spitting on another digital animal to protect another digital animal. :) Peace and love and all that! :)

I wonder whether prey are truly more innocent than carnivores. Can animals be immoral, or just amoral?

Oh, chickens are real evil. Pure criminals. They always engage in crimes like blackmail and eggstortion.

I would like the herding dogs to be able to herd and protect animals from foxes. We did not get sheep sadly but some breeds of dogs could protect farms. This kind of thing along with hunting is how many modern dog breeds started out.

About whether or not foxes are good or bad? I just think of that song from a few years ago by Ylvis, "What Does the Fox Say?" Time to party.

The Llama is only spitting on the fox right? It isn't hurting it or killing it just driving it away correct? I see no issue with this.

As far as I know and can tell from the trailer, the fox was only startled by the llama spitting on it. Which scared the fox away. The fox was not harmed in any way in the trailer, from what I can tell. That fox might have been in one of the scenes at the end of the trailer. If the fox seen at the end of the trailer is the same one that the llama had spit on. It appears to be uninjured because it was just strolling along in the deep woods at the end. :)
