Let's not to be intimidated and brainwashed by hawk lovers and mercenaries, let's get together and push for hawk control, since these species got out of hand and being protected they multiplied to the extend of causing an inbalance in nature.
They are multiple reports from all over the country hawks invading suburbs and big cities.
Why?
Hawks killed most of the wild birds in woods, many of those birds are rare and endangered species, so they need to expand their territory.
I live in semi wooded suburban setting, 5 years ago never seen a hawk, plenty of wild birds nestling on just about every tree around.
Now they are at least 2 or 3 hawks circling the skies all the time, looking for prey, wild and song birds are gone, can't free range chicken anymore.
To all hawk lovers and mercenaries on this board:
Do not try to intimidate me by labeling me a "flamer" or a "troller" as you did in the past.
I have a right to express my opinion about hawks and other predators, I never induced anybody to do anything illegal.
I am just exposing the lies and hypocrisy of environazis and brainwashed part of public supporting the unlimited "rights" of all kind of predators to multiply out of control and kill all wild and domestic species they care, while suppressing God's given rights of every human being to defend the life, property, and the life and well being of any animals an individual cares to own.
If you want to hatch, breed, raise and feed your chicken, rabbits, pigeons, sheep, cattle... you name it to predators, bless you, that,s your right.
But keep your dirty hands from my livestock making it a free game to all kinds of predators and making "laws" preventing me from protecting my property and my animals.
Most common LIES about the hawks:
LIE # 1
Hawks feed MOSTLY on rat and mice
Rats and mice are nocturnal animals, they HIDE during the day, hawks do not hunt at night, hawks may get lucky and kill a rodent but rodents are NOT the primary source of their food.
LIE # 2
Hawks feed mostly on squirrels and rodents.
Again:
Squirrels are too smart to be a serious pray for hawks, they are very fast and alert, will hide immediately id a hawk is close by.
Ever seen a dog or cat catching a squirrel?
I've seen growing numbers of hawks and squirrels in my area, there is a squirrel on just about every oak tree around here, never seen a hawk catching or eating a squirrel, but many times I'vee seen a hawks eating wild birds and destroing their nests.
LIE #3
Hawks will attack domestic birds only on "occasion".
Another lie, once hawks kill most of the population of wild birds in the woods and forests, they will come to suburbs and cities to kill domestic birds, and they will keep coming every day after they are successful.
Why hawks invade the cities?
Cause they run out of prey (birds) in the woods.
THE TRUTH ABOUT HAWKS:
Hawks kill primarily birds, wild, or domestic, and since the are protected and have no enemies they multiply out of control causing big damage and imbalance to environment.
The bottom line:
Hawks population in US got out of hand and needs to be controlled.
