Ripp, we have exactly the same thing in Australia. Dickheads from the city move the the country to enjoy a "Tree Change" and then try and change the way people live in those areas. Interestingly most will immediately stick signs on the fences and gates saying "Land for Wildlife" which means I am a greeny so don't come asking to hunt. However within a few months or less when their chickens and ducks have been killed they come begging for local hunters to come out and kill the foxes and feral cats.

It's the same with the wild ducks. At first when they shift in they love all the ducks landing on the back porch and the decking and giggle and take photos when they land in the pool but within weeks they are calling for hunters to "Kill ever duck they can" including asking you to break the law by shooting out of season and/or massive bags, all because the porch, decking and pool are covered from top to bottom in duck shit.

Interestingly the reason their chickens often are killed so easily is because these idiots don't realise or don't want to believe that a fox or feral cat would actually kill a chicken, because of course in Hollywood they all live happily together. Consequently when you have a look at the enclosures that they have for their chickens they are usually so poorly designed that the fox must be laughing his head off at how easy it is for them to get in.

Incredible how stupid people can really be, and it makes no difference whether they are wealthy or not, plenty of dickheads in both camps.

Matt.
