Climate Change did this.

I used to live in Sacramento and during the peak of the covid restrictions I saw coyotes on my very suburban street. All it takes for wildlife to assert themselves is the absence of people. Global warming has nothing to do with it.
There are now more wild animals then there used to be and because humans are no longer hunting them they have lost their fear.
A short hunting season removes the excess animals and puts the fear of humans back in them.
Gee we let wild predators proliferate and they attack us. Kind of like they’re wild animals.
Climate Change did this.
Bears, boars, monkeys and even dolphins are becoming bolder and more aggressive as climate change affects their habitats and forces them into confrontations with humans
The reason why boars and monkeys are destroying the countryside is there are not enough hunters (there are a few) getting too little pay for their work.
The monkeys are overpopulating and spreading out into the country, as are the boars. I stayed on a tiny island where the boars had swum onto the island and none of the 20 or so 70+ oldies there could grow anything because the boars root it up.
No change in temperatures in 20 years but “Climate Change” is responsible for every created ill.
My daughter’s family just moved from a place like that. They got tired of bears and coyotes and wildcats in the yard...................
Racist wildlife.
>The fact that a countryside without humans goes feral.
Yeah, there are three classifications of rural settlements in Japan (fishing, farming, and lumber). The lumber villages died in the 1960s when Japan let cheap Chinese and Vietnamese cedar into the lumber market. The Japanese also deregulated a lot of their agricultural segment as well, so the farming villages are barely hanging on. The fishing villages are doing great because it’s high profit, when it used to be quite poor work.
I’d say 90% of the lumber villages are now abandoned, and you can see boar, badger, and all kinds of wild animal poop in houses that 50 years ago housed whole families.
We had friends who moved from the city to deep rural wooded area. They bought a home abandoned that was even used as a chicken coup for a time. Needless saying they had black snakes popping up everywhere for a few years as they refurbished the place. BIG ONES!
Interesting.
I’ve seen the increased frequency of these kinds of encounters blamed on climate change or on human expansion before, and I never really believed it.
I’ve always thought it more likely to be because of leash laws. For tens of thousands of years human settlements were surrounded by a penumbra of tame and half-tame dogs. You’d not find coyotes, for example, nesting down in the patch of woods outside of town because there’d be dogs there, filling that ecological niche.
But we’ve been controlling our dogs, spaying and neutering them, keeping them fenced and leashed. There are for fewer dogs running loose around our communities than there used to be.
Or so I thought.
I know that’s what’s been going on in the US. But I don’t know if there’s been a significant reduction of the number of free range dogs in Japan.
If there hasn’t been, maybe climate change does have something to do with it.
Or maybe it’s something else.
Japan's wildlife turns on the human population

Sounds like one of the Seals referenced in the Book of Revelation has been broken...coming here soon?
A big black snake, or black rat snake is your friend.
You can have a modern economy or you can sacrifice to Gaia. You cannot do both Germans. You are going to have to decide which of the two you want.
A friend of mine in Japan bought an old farmhouse in Japan as a summer home. They had a large garden that they had to protect with a large fence. That didn’t work. The old guys in the village said the only way to stop the monkeys and boars was to kill them and leave a couple of dead ones one the edges of the property.
