The outdated and abusive policy of taking away protections from abuse and wanton slaughter of so called varmints, such as foxes, coyotes, wolves, ravens, prairie dogs, and many others is wrong. Basic scientific understanding informs that each animal plays an important role on their ecosystem. Compassion may be difficult to legalize but protecting our natural systems should be mandated. Nonlethal methods of coexistence exist and are often inexpensive and simple.
