I was actually using humor to make a point about my Chihuahua. I was tempted to leave her outside all night when we first got her. It was miserable getting her potty trained to use the cat box and I thought of putting her in a pen with a dog house over night. Thankfully she got trained before going to the pen. Good thing I tested my pen design on less expensive birds, as I explain below.
We have had found chicken feathers and duck feathers with no chickens or ducks. We have lost Cottontail and Bugs because of the feral things out at night. It was poor pen design that must be done right. Then, we got wise and built the pen with a solid top and chicken wire that went two feet under the ground and curved outward. It was nice to have fresh chicken and duck eggs for breakfast again.
The real point is the priorities of animal rights people. They would rather animals of the feral nature to pester animals that humans keep domestically. In our neck of the woods, people have been attacked by a gaze of raccoons. The bottom line is, these feral animals will taste our domestic animals and move on to lip-smacking humans. Mmmmmm!
And the homeless population dropped by 40%. Hummmm...
How will the wolf survive?
I’m sure farmers and ranchers are thrilled. Just wait for people to find out the hard way that contrary to environmentalist propaganda, wolves do attack humans.
I am just as concerned for the dogs as I am for the goats, sheep, alpacas, chickens and other livestock that are the way many people make a living out here. My dog does not go outdoors without me, and my cats don’t go out at all-I was brought up in the country and know a loose pet is a dead pet-but many from the city don’t think about that. However, if there is a big fine for letting the dog run loose, they are less likely to do it-big fine-safe dog.
I thought grandma got chewed up by a reindeer-or was that run over?
Game fencing is used a lot here for pens-dig a trench, bury a foot or two of the fencing, then finish the fence-it will thwart raccoons as long as there is a secure top on the structure, and no gap they can claw into. I’m more terrified of wild/feral hogs than any other predator-they are bad tempered, huge, and have no scruples about attacking humans.
As long as we don’t go romping all alone in the animals’ dining room, they seem okay with leaving us alone here-in California, people build a whole subdivision in the woods, dispose of trash carelessly, turn loose pets, jog and ride bikes in cougar and bear country, all alone etc-and wonder why people get attacked...
>> wolves do attack [ and kill ] humans. [ Candice Berner ]
Most predator populations are way up partly because of the below.
The feds have been closing grazing allotments for sheep, cattle, etc. Think Bundy’s rancher neighbors.
Closing historic roads [ violating RS 2477 ] and removing other working class careers like logging, mining, energy production, etc.
Just to start.
Any thing threatens my family, my dogs or my livestock gets shot, dressed and ground into dog food ASAP.
No evidence except dog crap, not to many government pukes are willing to handle that job.
“And apparently, USFW is putting grizzlies in the Siskiyous. Injured bears from other States are rehabbed and introduced without public input.”
Been tried before - Epic FAIL!
One of America’s best botanists was killed by a griz released near his cabin. However, the ParcPersons are not responsible for their project impacts.
We wouldn’t mind a pair of wolves in our area to thin out the deer population, feral dogs/cats and the dogs and cats released by their owners at night to roam the area.
However, please send all coywolfs to DC, LA, Gay Frisco, Chicago, NYC and other rat cities. Those critters are smart, adaptable and dangerous.
Hunters should be allowed to hunt deer with buck shot, bolts, and/or arrows in urban areas to thin out the herds.
Puts food on the table and more.
