Exactly.My philosophy;
- Provide the best protection I can for my livestock in the form of fencing, barriers and other deterrents.
- Potential domesticated predators showing interest in my livestock are dispatched posthaste. That was your pet? Sorry, you should have kept it under your control. You let it roam like a wild animal and I will treat it as such.
- Truly bred-in-the-wild predators showing any interest in my livestock are also dispatched on an individual basis. I do not attempt to destroy a species wholesale. All fill a necessary niche in the great scheme of life.
- Poisons are restricted to insects and other like pests, and than on a very limited time and area basis.
