They find fabulous food everywhere: chunks of cheeseburger from dumpsters, shreds of taco on windblown wrappers.

How do kit foxes climb up into dumpsters - or climb back out? And unless the streets of Bakersfield are filled with windblown taco wrappers, that won't work either. More likely they're eating from backyard pet food bowls or someone's feeding them.
