Last spring, while on a walk within a few hundred yards of my home, I came across a dreadful sight: two tiny deer legs and feet. The scant remnants of a new-born fawn were all that were left after a fresh coyote kill. Just because it’s nature’s way, doesn’t mean I have to like it. And, I don’t.

Much like the failed war on drugs, there cannot be control without addressing demand. And, in this case the “demand” is that crime pays.
