I can believe it. I used to think that the storys about them taking farm animals and birds was BS. Well a big ole red showed me other wise. He got two cats and a large roade island red rooster at our place a few years ago. The last cat was his undoing. He picked it up and was headed out of the yard crossing the road out front and didn't allow himself enough room with the oncoming farm truck, became a wild looking grill ornament along with the cat he'd just killed.
