Humans are the worst predators

I agree people are the worst!

I too lock my coops....and runs.

I would absolutely be finding a way to lock everyone up. Those humans will be back. Maybe add an electric fence.....might I recommend an energizer designed for bulls?

Gah, time to start here too I guess.
Sorry about the loss of your birds.

am so sorry, agree with securing the door, and the solar motion spot light sensors are successful when you have that random first time thief to startle them. They have some nice street light size out on the market that are very bright and easy to mount on your own where you want them. Those work really well for deterring return offenders .Some are dusk til dawn and some have multiple mode settings. We have "Dark Skys" in our area so I like the ones that stay off unless the motion sensor is triggered.

I've noticed on some other online services that people are having their full bred, very young puppies stolen from their yards. I'm talking puppies that are less than 6 weeks old and still needing to be with the mom. I wonder if all the animal theft going on isn't more of a new sort of theft operation. One where people are stealing them only to turn around and sell them on FB or the sort to make a profit. Just a thought.

How can someone do that?! Did you call the police?
People can be so HORRID sometimes. A chicken-keeping someone that I know had 20 of their best laying hens stolen from their backyard when lockdown started by neighbors they knew well and got along with. They got 17 of the hens back, but the others died because they had horrible care from the neighbors and zero protection.
It's like, one moment you're all chummy and bringing over cookies, the next you are taking heartlessly at the first sign of trouble. I would never "climb over the backs" of my friends and neighbors like that. Even for my own sake. I'm not that kind of person.
Sometimes, I wonder what the world would be like if we all understood each other's struggles and hardships, our problems and our sacrifices. I wonder what the world would be like if we all cared about them, too.
Good luck with no one else stealing.
I'm padlocking my coop tonight.
Best wishes,

I'm so sorry. I hope you can find a way to protect the rest of your pets.

I'm so sorry for your loss and heartache. Thank you for sharing with us. Many of us will take precautions now because you did. Bless you.

Knowing the Justice System in my country nothing will happen. The cops here rather arrest critics of the President.

Let's face it, majority of humans are of low IQ, they probably thought because of this pandemic we are going through...... that we are somehow supposed to act in a certain way, like in the movies. It's all part of this apocalypse scenario they are playing through in their heads for the thrill of it, as if it's a game to them. The human psyche never ceases to amaze me.

Thank you and bravo.
