There is a scene where a fox gets into a hen house and chases hens, followed by the wolf fighting the fox to defend the hens. When the owner comes out, he shoots at both animals. I think there was a yelp to indicate he got the fox, but the editing of the film makes this unclear. No hens are shown dead or dying. The fox is not shown dead or dying either.
