In article , says...

He feeds the wild animals around his house human food. That tells you
what kind of person he is. He feels good about doing something that is
actually harming the wildlife.

He doesn't understand that he is turning his property into killing
ground. We stopped feeding the birds due to the fact that our female
Beagle kept catching and killing the birds. Also, our yard is now a no
squirrel zone, when the other squirrels saw one of their own being
caught and eaten by the same female Beagle they got the idea that our
yard was not the place to be.

Our chipmunk family living under our front steps was resolved by the
foxes. One chipmunk is a snack but a whole family of chipmunks is a
meal. And, our neighborhood has no stray cats either. The foxes have
taken care of that problem.

If you are truly concerned about the animals you would not put out food
where it does not naturally occur nor water where it is not naturally
found. All yo are doing is creating a buffet for the local predators.

The hawks and owls in our neighborhood do their jobs taking care of the
smaller rodents. We provide food and water for passing birds, the
neighborhood squirrels, foxes, raccoons, and possums. These show up on
occasion and there's no evidence they are attacking each other. The
squirrels are pests, but there is no way you can put out birdseed in
feeders without having squirrels around, too. The foxes are our
favorites; they are beautiful animals. The raccoons are cute and clever.

Kind of like your own menagerie?

We live on the edge of a large wooded area. The critters are abundant
here. A few of them come by, and the ones that do are recognizable. We
have limited interaction with them, and in all the years we have lived
here, they have not been "pests." The only pests in our immediate
neighborhood are the various religious proselytizers who come knocking
uninvited at the front door from time to time.

I live near where Rock Creek begins.

We don't allow our housepets outside. The only time they go outdoors is
on an annual or other trip to the veterinarian.

Why are you denying your animals the ability to experience nature. Or,
have they told you they like sitting at the window watching the world go
by just like prisoners do?
