Foxes Study Mouse Behaviors
To become better predators they'll even toy with mice without eating them
Foxes are very skilled hunters. Adaptive, clever, even playful while hunting food.
The largest part of a fox’s diet is mice and rats. Foxes study the behavior of mice. And study. And study. Foxes must know mouse behaviors to survive.
All predators learn the behaviors of their prey to survive. And some of the smartest predators get really good at hunting by sometimes playing with their prey:
Red Fox Diet - Hunting Strategies & Behaviour
“Once the prey has been caught, the fox will sometimes ‘play’ with the animal before either eating it or letting it go. Veteran fox-watcher David Henry recounted a fascinating incident from the autumn of 1971, during which the fox he was following pounced and caught a shrew, before carrying it up the hillside and playing with it at a roadway.”
The most dangerous predator of all is Man. And Man hunts more than food. Man hunts other men. And has since the dawn of man. For food. No, not to eat other men. But to secure food and natural resources for survival that other men have, or other men wish to take from them.
The social evolution of man into civilization organized into societies didn’t tame the predatory nature of man out of existence. It just changed forms from how it is expressed in nomadic hunting gathering peoples competing for resources in the wild. The competition evolves to within society, internal.
While ideas such as sharing, taking up specialized roles within a larger community are inculcated, some seek to secure the food and natural resources for their own survival that other men have. The most predatory ones for their own power and delusions of grandeur. They’ll even play games with their prey for practice, to hone their hunting skills. They are sadistic predators.
They study (Milgram). And study (Asch). And study (Stanford) us. Predators learn how to control their prey. And learn. And learn.
They even learn about us studying the behaviors of animals. Testing our learning, our memory, changing the options that are available to us. To them, we’re just like mice. Only a little more complicated. But only a little. Like this short video describes.
Mouse = We, The People. Sames.
Mouse Behavior (01:22)
A Fox will sometimes play with a mouse, will even walk away from one without eating it, the play is part of a fox studying the behavior of its prey, learning how to be a better predator. And so it is for the sadistic predators who view We, The People as mice.
But, they forget, We, The People are not mice. And we are not limited to the confines of a maze. No matter how hard they work at trying to make us not see other options outside the maze they will not succeed. And the more we share this awareness with others that we have more options than those available in a maze the sooner our collective mind awakens and we rise up, above the maze!
The Social Experiment Bet, Humans as Mice.
From the movie Trading Places (link to Archive.org Full Movie, free to view). It really is just a game to many of these people in positions of extreme wealth and power. Who consider themselves apex predators.

Additional resources on weaponized behavioral sciences that more test subjects must be awakened to. Previous Freedom Fox pieces on the role of applied behavioral science on the world today, the “public mind” and how it’s crossed over from helpful “nudges” to abusive psychological manipulation, coercion, distortion of reality from the natural world and natural law. Just like trained mice.
A Narrative
We are in an Information War. Control of Narrative. The Cognitive Battlefield. And many powerful and sophisticated weapons have been deployed against our minds. So since it’s about narrative, here’s a story that serves as a primer on what and who we are dealing with.
Sunshine is the Best Disinfectant
If you’ve followed this Stack before much of what this post is about has been shared. A Fox attempting to share knowledge with others that a fox’s curiosity led to learning. A story that just came out in the New York Post by Miranda Devine is about an investigation into Google’s election interference.
Great piece! I've read a couple of your posts and love how you draw the thread of analogy of fox behavior through each point you're making. Genius!
I doubt the fox has any disdain for the mouse and the mouse most evidently does not appreciate being played with by a fox, but if the fox lets the mouse live, then all is forgotten I reckon from the mouse's perspective - and if the fox learns something in the process, then the mouse must figure that is for other mouse's (mice ?) to deal with - "I'm just glad to be effing alive" the mouse must think as it scurries away from the playful fox....
