Sounds like it is the humans home and the animals have moved in on them.
The farms have been around for a long time, and so have the animals. They have coexisted for a while. More recently, new homes are being built on old farm land. My point is the urban sprawl is coming to the farmland. The wildlife has been here all along. People who move into these areas are surprised by the presence of coyotes and bobcats and such, that see a nice meal from the family pet.
