Fox scent, owl effigies and the likes, whatever happened to the real predators? As our species encroach on their habitats, they are chased away by dogs, shot or starve to death cleanly out of sight. Only the cute critters are left because humsns are hardwired for cuteness and don't want predators in their backyards.
I'm 65 years old and I've never seen a live wolf or coyote in its natural habitat. Maybe I don't get out far enough but where I live, there are enough preys to feed many coyotes. The main predator here is the car and I see lots of roadkill every day to prove it.
Those couple bunnies I had in my entryway two years ago were obviously picked up by their owner because I never saw them again. So I didn't have to make intentionnal roadkill, and I'm very glad it turned out that way. I'm not the killing kind either. But what about those who buy cats, chicks and bunnies for their kids as pets and then let them lose in nature when they're not loved anymore? Joanne I think you struck a raw nerve in me. I could tell you about ex-French movie star Brigitte Bardot with her antiseal campaign and her press conference I attended years ago but this post is already long enough.
