Typically, the problem you describe is the result of man encroaching on the natural habit of woodland critters and decimating it. So, we take away the land on which critters live, eat, and breathe, and then we shoot them. Elimination of their natural predators (wolves, cougars, etc.) is also significant. They tend to require more area and incur the wrath of farmers/ranchers. They are found in the heart of Des Moines. Seen on the Capitol grounds. Casady |

Still folks out there that would rather see the things slowly starve to death... Makes you wonder how any animal species ever survived without man killing them in mass. |

Casady Typically, the problem you describe is the result of man encroaching on the natural habit of woodland critters and decimating it. So, we take away the land on which critters live, eat, and breathe, and then we shoot them. There are significantly more deer in the suburbs than there ever have been but the residents would not tolerate repopulating the predators necessary for natural control. It turns out white tail deer are very well adapted to suburban living. I have even seen them on the Whitehurst Freeway in downtown DC. Can you imagine the howl people would put up if we dumped a couple dozen cougars around the beltway and in Rock Creek Park? I doubt they would even tolerate that down in rural Calvert County. (yet they did it near where I live here in SW Florida) The fox take care of the rodent population, cats are rodents in my book. This is the Gods honest truth. I watched a fox chase a cat and tree him/her, in my back yard. After a period of time, 15-30 minutes as I recall, with the fox still patiently waiting at the base of the tree, the cat climbed down the tree, swatted the fox in the nose, and ran off. The bewildered fox didn't give chase. |

Hunters put their money where their mouth is and they actually do things to preserve habitat and encourage species survival. They don't just whine about it. BTW I don't hunt. Yeah, killing animals saves them. Got it! Finally... |
