  • This house believes that the Predators of Farthing Wood should continue to follow 'The Code' with regards to the Prey of Farthing Wood at Blue Wolf National Park

    Infoslide

    Farthing Wood was a forest in the South West of England. It has recently been turned into a housing estate. All of the animals who previously lived there decided to move to Blue Wolf National Park as their new home. For safety on this journey, they all decided upon 'The Code'. 'The Code' dictates that none of the predator animals (foxes, badgers, weasels, etc.) are to eat any of the prey animals (mice, rabbits, pheasants etc.) in the group until they reach Blue Wolf. After months of travelling together and peril-filled stories, they reach Blue Wolf and are homed safely with the animals who already live in the park.
