Thank God! Someone who understands my point! And you even take responibility for your pets! WOW! Where can I send the Christmas card!
They aren't a mistake, it's not some kind of mismanagement that they exist, they belong here. That's not a liberal idea, it's the truth. Now, I have the right to control them if they were bothering me, but I don't. I thought about it a few years ago when I had a pack I thought was getting fairly brazen... but some other force, human or otherwise, did that for me. They have disappeared for now.
They don't bother my dogs or horses, in fact, I think when hunting is slim they get by eating horse droppings. I choose not to have chickens and other small bait, I don't want to have to stand guard over them at night. It's just not the way I want to live. I rather enjoy hearing them at night, though I do spotlight them at night if they are too close... It keeps them wary.
I took these of the brazen ones of a couple years back.
