I REALIZE THIS IS A POULTRY SITE BUT!

[mom'sfolly]

Most predator problems on this list consist of:
dogs
racoons
oppossums
coyotes
skunks
foxes
feral cats
and occassionally bears

None of these are endangered, or even close to being endangered.

Some people post about problems with hawks and owls and are told they are protected. Wolves are only in a few states, and seldom a problem for poultry people because wovles just don't like to be around people. No on here advocates killing protected species. So, I guess I don't think anyone is killing endangered species here.

What 2 legged predator you eating tonight? I am hungry for some italian

I must be good, I must be good, I must be good if I write those four words a thousand times, I will remember this is a family site. But so far one two legged predator shot (rock salt) and one two legged predator trapped (now in jail in one of the Carolinas). Don't put it passed me to eat a little human at times. Remember the Donner party.

A lot of the steadfast predator killers on here are people who depend on their livestock for income. It's not just a matter of ontological values, it's a matter of monetary values.

Hmm, well, yes, at one point Oblio's Hierarchy of Animals was considered the scientific standard, but in recent years it has been pushed aside in favor of The FOWL Hierarchy of Animals . . .

elephant
dog
bird (any form, including chicken, parrot, owl, vulture, pigeon, duck, etc.)
whale
guinea pig
goat
cow
spiders
other bugs
snakes
sheep
rat
mouse

You'll notice in the more updated Hierarchy the superior minded FOWL scientists have left off monkeys and cats, acknowledging them to be cruel jokes played on this planet by some malicious race of alien beings.
It should also be noted that the Hierarchy is constantly debated among the scientific community, not to speak of the common lay person and their squabbles with the hierarchy (they continuously insist that it's just a theory, and shouldn't be taught at all

). You should pay no heed, however, as I have it on the highest authority (an incredible super genius who mysteriously goes by the initials F.T.) that the FOWL Hierarchy, is, in fact, the final say in the animal rating systems.

I have just received word that the placement of dogs on the list only applies to a certain Westie and Scottie known to exist somewhere in Texas. Apparently these dogs are so perfect they managed to single pawedly have dogs placed second, but should they cease to exist there has been word that there will be a mad scramble amongst the animal kingdom for the second ranking. Humans need not apply, as their data is all over the charts and too inconsistent for anyone to decide whether they should be generally adored or loathed.

Do they occasionally eat a small 8 year old boy and part of his raft?
