Well, the woods are part of the community, so we all own them, so to speak. And they are part of the “watershed for the Public Water Supply”, so he really shouldn’t.
However, the critters can be very pesky, so I do understand his motives. I keep a tighter leash on Lynn-Dah when we walk past his house though. He is actually a nice guy, and would most probably be appalled when i tell him what Lynn-Dah suffered as a result of his “carelessness”.
I’ll be nice about it though, after all I am the n00b in the neighborhood.
Aaaaaah, no one’s and everyone’s woods. He really shouldn’t put the mothballs out there then.
Indeed, critters are pesky. Here, we have a major problem with deer eating our corn and soybeans in the fields and it puts a dent in the yield. But we don’t hunt them or allow hunting on our farm. There are plenty of hunters around the area who keep the numbers down a little.
Coyotes kill livestock and pets and I have NO love for them at all. We’ve lost a few cats to them and we DO allow friends to hunt them.
I’m a nature lover and love watching it in action. But when some cross the line .....
Messin’ with my kittehs is definitely crossing it! LOL!
Yeah, go easy on the neighbor since he’s a nice fella. He’ll probably go to the woods and pick up all the mothballs he can find. He probably had no clue dogs might eat them and what it would do to them. He was just trying to keep deer away with the smell.
I’m glad Lynn-Dah is doing so much better now. That was a close call.
