“Rabbit guy pointed out that this was the sixth time they had come on his property and tried to kill (and had killed a couple of times) his rabbits.”
Seems to me that if a neighbor’s pet dog can take out your rabbits or chickens, so too could wild foxes, coyotes, raccoons, fisher cats, bears, bobcats, raptors... I guess some people are lucky enough to live in areas without significant numbers of wild predators.
Most wild animals avoid human habitation. Domestic dogs don’t, se they tend to be the main predator problem for farmers. Some are feral dogs that were abandoned by their owners and dogs that are allowed to wander often hook up with them.
Not a lot of "wild foxes, coyotes, raccoons, fisher cats, bears, bobcats, raptors" around.
But to many stew pet people letting their stew pet animals run around killing other people's prize animals.
