If this is a curse that has been going on for a while, it's probably going to take a bit more than cleaning up for it to stop.

[But as usual, mortals tend to mess things up when faced with spirits. You can't always blame them, spirits can be scary. but for sure, if you slaughter one for no reason, the others aren't going to be happy about it.]

I don't know why they think what they're doing is solving the problem. They're just killing more foxes, on top of their own people. It's just perpetuating the grudge at this stage.
