A neighbor was tying their dogs up in their driveway, unsupervised. I let them know that sure - that's allowed. But the coyotes, bobcats, foxes, owls, eagles, hawks, and other birds of prey would be VERY happy to see that habit continued. So far, they haven't left their dogs out unsupervised since. Very glad about that, because I was absolutely serious. I really like my neighbor. And I love dogs. But I also love nature in general, and owls gotta eat, and nothing says "lunch" to an owl like a tiny miniature furball tied to a stake in the front yard.
