These pets of ours depend on us to feed them, water them, keep them warm and protect them.
When we take on pets it is our responsibility to protect them from wild animals, NOT to try and rid the territory we ultimately invaded of those animals that were there first.
Before making such rash judgements on the horribleness of these "wild, bloodthirsty animals" people need to find an area where the residents have found a way to live in harmony with the predators and take that as an example.
Right now I have a Kodiak brown bear prowling my neighborhood, waiting for the salmon runs to arrive. But I am not going to rush out and shoot him, just to prevent him from getting my chickens and ducks. Instead, I did the responsible thing and put up and electric fence to keep him out of the coop. My dogs still go out, my daughter rides her bicycle through the neighborhood, the birds free range during the day - all is well and the bear is alive.
