Living in rural Southern California, I am uniquely qualified to inform them if they let their pets get snatched up by coyotes, wolves, bears, owls, eagles or any other creatures, they’re some dumb m-fers.
Everyone anywhere near this region knows it’s par for the course. Hell, I know one moron in downtown LA that is somehow the only person stupid enough to let his dogs get attacked multiple times by coyotes and skunks, right in the middle of Elysian Park, because he’s way too cool to leash the poor guys. The livestock bellyaching, as you describe, is completely disingenuous.
Damn, I can feel it now.
The funniest thing is you couldn’t react or you’d get busted. Like the worst case of giggles in church.
