The fox, exhausted, is then caught by the dogs, which rip it to pieces why it is still alive. They then claim that they doing this to stop the foxes stealing chickens, etc, but they're not.

I can understand farmers being able to shoot foxes which are stealing their chickens, but no more than that.
