In fact, because of my awareness I take every possible means to avoid it...and that is perhaps why I have not incurred their bite and rabies shots. So you see, I don't 'gaff off' any potential for danger from a nuisance. Nor have I ever suggested that anyone do that - but - have promoted awareness without fear mongering.
Regarding the posture of awareness to wildlife claimed above:

This by the way is from me alone. i am not citing or quoting resources.

One who has the awareness of a rural Floridian to local wildlife would never say, as did the claimant, dismissing concerns about coyotes, on 9/3 in the thread "coyotes" :
"Grunewald, who moved to The Villages eight years ago from Oconomowoc, Wis., also has seen baby pigs out on the golf course."

One who knows whereof he speaks regarding "pigs" would instead say urgently, "Those are not domestic pigs! They are wild hogs. The parents are huge and extremely dangerous when provoked or when the offspring are threatened! Please do not go outside or take pets out until you have help getting trappers!"

Edited..in future I will try to pm people who malign my motives using pejorative labels and spare readers the grunge.
