My perspective.
I truly don't go around killing critters, I don't even hunt anymore. But cats and dogs fit the same catagory of a nuisance when the following fits...
I can't get near it to catch. "Wild"
It eats when my pets can't. See next post.
It fights with or dominates my pets on my property.
Lastly the paddy wagon for pets fails to get the job done.
What really makes this relevant is all our 6 pets where strays.Two were flea ridden and emancipated. Best dogs I've ever been around.
I want let a two legged being do any of this to me and mine. So I want flench to restrict a critter from doing the same. "Tame or Wild".
