Some nuisances are human created, like feeding animals on purpose. This situation is a shame. The people who created this shoulder all of the blame.

Other times there is predator control where you create a multi-layer security for you livestock, say chickens in my case, where you have wire dug in 18" into the ground, both 2x4 welded wire and 1/2" hardware cloth on the walls and top of the run, plus a fairly stout electric fence.

Surely there are some predators who encounter the electric fence and they don't return, but those who do persist, or decide to snoop around our property for food, get trapped and dirt napped.

When you are protecting livestock, predator control makes sense. Attracting predators at any time makes no sense, unless you aim to control their numbers through culling.

I have 32 little feathered meals running around, and I'll do my best to see they are protected. I don't see them as learning tools for young predators.
