** Despite coming across as heartlessly opportunistic for much of the story, Tod has a few moments when he shows something akin to compassion. When he finds a strange fox stuck in a trap, he feels compelled to help, but has no idea how. He still stays with the doomed fox until he senses the hunter approaching. Another time is when he meets his second mate; a male fox is trying to force himself on her and Tod chases him away. Instead of treating the vixen the same way as that male fox, he goes to find food for her and waits for her to calm down and trust him. Only after that's achieved does he mate with her.

Your interpretation is valid, but I'm not sure that unsympathetic characters were what the author was going for. Modified a few of those and added a couple of tropes, some on the unsympathetic side, some on the "they're animals and can't be judged by human morals" side.
