I understand nature and have respect for the wild things that we have displaced for our comfort and civilization. But I also recognize the need to establish these process's ,and to try and find harmony. Glad to see use of live trap,rather than poisons,or other deadly means.

Hope you have a good day!... "life is to short for bad day's!"
