Yep and please be careful when you walk that you don't squash any ants cos you must remember they have feelings too

No. The ants can go, that's ok

A bit.

A person can't possibly keep every predator out for certain without sticking the birds in a box. The ferrets dug underneath the boards and fencing to get in. A similar thing happened before my coop had a floor put in, and I lost three guineas as a result.
However, if you go that route, then you might as well just keep the birds inside your house, or not keep any birds at all. Then that keeps the chickens indoors or in a cage, while their predators live out and free to hunt whatever they please without limits.
Ferrets -- an invasive pest species -- free and living large, while the chickens are in a box. Think about that for a second.

Yes I understand what you're saying.
I have nothing against killing animals but I think there are always ways to keep the predators out of an animals enclosure. Preventative action is a good start though.

So you have different standards for different animals???

It's called population control.

It's called population control.

That applies to all animals and insects

Reminds me of a Dennis Leary skit about only saving cute animals. I'd link it, but it's not exactly G rated.
