That's the thing people forget. Other than the buffalos, no one removed any of the wildlife when they tore up the terrain and built the Villages. The wildlife moved themselves back, but they didn't go away. They're still in the area. And now that there's more development, there is more risk of wildlife having no place to go BUT back to where they came from. Whether we have a house there or not.
