where i live wild animals are doing well on a large preserve that our property boarders. lately some of the animals are coming into the neighborhood to eat, we have missing dogs and cats, rabbit hutches torn open, with the rabbits gone. Some of the people of the neighborhood say we need to kill these animals, my wife animal rights activist says they were here first, keep a better eye on your pet. what happens when it is a child or small adult that is eaten, and that will soon happen as these animals get bolder and associate humans with food, what do you think about these problems do you have similar ones where you live.

Animals will avoid humans generally unless they become familiar with them. Animals isntinctively fear human. I lived in a national park for about a year where the wild animals always got priority over humans and their advice to us was always make noise wherever you go so as not to frighten the animal as then they are more likely to attack, I forgot to check where you are from befoer I started typing this but I hope this link is useful to you. It tells you safety information fro ebing around wildlife and in a national park the info is invaluable. http://www.pc.gc.ca/pn-np/ab/banff/visit/visit14_E.asp

i am in mississippi, i have no problem being in the outdoors or with animals, i fit in fine with them, my wife to. we love to watch them. they can not get in our house, mainly city folk in our neighborhood who think barking dogs are wild animals. they also are the one who will try to pet a buck in rut, because he is cute, lol.
