I made a point of finding a place to live where such measures aren’t needed but I approve of them if one is going to live where they are needed.
I live in very rural Hawaii.
I own cattle. horses, donkeys, et al
I’m responsible for them.
They are pets, but very territorial.
If they don’t know you, you have a problem.
Ever dealt with a pissed off/scared 1400 pound cow?
I’m looking to get some peacocks.
You will lose,
