Well, that is an interesting perspective...
Since we do not have Bobcats, Cougars, and too much in the way of any other “native” predators in most urban areas of Texas anymore, I would like to hear your ideas on controlling the rodent and varmint population in DFW, Houston, or Galveston Island. Do you have any?
(Not trying to be snarky — I am really curious as to how we would keep from being overrun by vermin without “imported” predators that since the native ones have learned to keep their distance from people.)
I agree, lack of predators has created problems in some areas. Hunting is legal in most states for animals such as squirrels, rabbits, coyote etc. Trapping is also still legal in many states. In urban areas where overpopulation of rodents such as mice and rats are a problem, they can be trapped and disposed of humanely. Overpopulation of rodents is in response to the human condition not a natural occurrence.
