WOW GUYS! Never expected to come home tonight and find almost 80 posts haha. i have red a little bit of everyones post. thanks a whoile lot for the open discussion. i am going to explain things that i have seen in the other posts. i don't want nobody to get mad at me.
1. Yes hawks have killed housepets. My neighbor had a puppy. Little bity thing. We live kind of close but we have space on the backs of our houses and we loive right next to the woods. well little to say bam there wasn't really nothing to do but to not let her dogs out without watching them. i believe he was sitting on the dead tree behind her house. i've seen the hawk set there. i am guessing that was the one. i guess it got a glemse of it and you know.
2. YES I BELIVE HAWK POPULATIONS HAVE BECOME WAY OVER CONTROL. we used to have "pet" rabbits we used to feed. they were wild but after a few weeks of throwing lettuce and cabbage out they started to come. This was maybe half-1 year ago. And they had little ones raising them in our field. little by little the babies grew up and low and behold the hawks one by one picking and choosing. the adults still came until one day it was(HAWK) was sitting on the light pole and started picking off all my "pet" rabbits. i tryed everything. one of the babies my brother found in the yard and i am guessing it was the kid of the eaten parents. So we let him go. he wasn't as tame but came back for lettuce. this was recently too. Knock on wood the hawks have left him alone. my mom named him max and he comes around sometimes. not really much feeding to do though.
3. The other wild life our literally starving. As above the rabbits poulation is way down. I have the max rabbit and literally 3 others that nest under a small building my neighbor has. Thats it. we have a fox that rolls around here at night . very pretty. would not harm him in any way. I know he would kill my chickens but he has never tryed. i have a huge fence on my lot besides my chickens. He is really skinny and the fox population has went down bad.
4. CHANGE THE LAWS.
