According to the article, it would appear he had some manner of personal tiny business of fowl design that the hawks and falcons among other predators were cutting into his planned bottom line so he was stealthily wiping out the competition, thus the dead bodies beginning to appear all about his property.
Thanks so much for the prayers, now I just hope someone is listening. :)
And thanks for "condensing" the article for me about the "human predator" (tongue in cheek, trying not to judge his need with it).
