We’ve always given the wild animals respect and left them to their own devices. We didn’t have turkeys until an idiot from town moved out here and decided to ‘raise’ turkeys. He apparently was as clueless about them as Carol in thinking they were defenseless and didn’t fly.

We now have been overrun with them. They’re noisy, dirty and yes they can fly. Maybe not like an eagle but enough to evade predators. Also, they get into your yard, on your house, your car, etc.

They are a serious pain in the patoot and were brought in by a guy who didn’t know squat about the balance of nature. Oh did I mention once he failed at turkeys, he decided pheasants would do better? Same result. He introduced wildlife that didn’t belong and has become a pain.

I don’t advocate killing them but believe protecting them is also out of the question. Let nature take it’s course and hopefully, the balance will come back to Danville wildlife.

So far it’s been 15 years since this guy moved in down the road and we’re still dealing with an over population of birdlife he’s introduced. Sigh….what a boob.
