I made assumption based on raptor species and pattern of writing that poster is in North America.

This is actually not very likely. In my county there are all of 3 employees working as wardens for the Fish and Wildlife department and I live in the largest county in Washington state.. Even IF your neighbors try and turn you in, you would have to have been very sloppy in handling the situation to actually be prosecuted. Even that guy whom famously shot Cecil the Lion had been only slapped on the wrist for illegally hunting bear on federal land without a license out of season. Of course everyone is responsible for their own actions but to suggest the Gov't is going to hit you for $15,000 on a charge of raptor killing is not only improbable in any private property outside city limits but also pushing this idea that removing threats from your property only invites even greater threats is itself a logical fallacy. Noone can say what will or wont happen after you have culled the hawks from your airspace but bigger and badder hawks as an answer makes no sense.Gonna get pinched.

well the last one I shot wasn't too stinky and the 12g rekt its intestines. Although it was a 50+ft shot. I mean it's hard to judge flying targets. But I definitely want the hawks to leave. Maybe if there are less buzzards to steal what is possibly hawk food, the hawks will be able to just eat the small nice and squirrels instead of feasting on a juicy chick.
Shooting something dead that one isnt sure what it is (in order to identify it?!) seems pretty cruel, regardless of whether it's actually illegal--one of the first rules of responsible firearms use is to accurately ID the target first, not after.
I knew it was a bird of prey that was killing my chickens. I misidentified it at first, thinking it was a hawk as it looked and acted like one. As it swooped around my chickens and perched and watched my chickens and I heard screeches (other hawks apparently). And the reason is mainly that the hawk is killing my beloved pets (thought it was a given). The hope for it to eat mice instead of my chicks is another reason on top of a reason that was posted further up in the chat which you obviously did not read... Not cool
