(sigh) Well, I figure living in close quarters with rats, and the disease that they can bring, makes it an "us or them" proposition. We gotta kill 'em, or suffer the consequences. If we can kill them quick and painless, I'm all for that. Would I kill it not quick and painless? I don't see why. We're smart. We send people to the moon, split atoms, invent automatic cat-poop-scooping machines. We surely can invent SOMETHING, yes?
What do wolves eat in the wild if they don't have ranchers' sheep available? (Answer: mice, voles, rabbits.) I'd say give ranchers tax cuts for building taller/stronger fences.
Though I shudder for the deer. . . . jeez, now my head hurts. Ahh, Nature sucks sometimes! Short, nasty, brutish.

a wolf-killing perspective from someone who's been there (amongst the wolf-killers, not killing herself)
