I never asked for a solution to the hawk eating the ducks. A hawk has
to eat, after all.
Quite right. Hawks do have to eat if they are to live. Homesteaders
typically put the feeding of themselves and their families ahead of
predators. I think this is the first time a homestead list member has
said they are okay with losing livestock to predators. I certainly
expected that you wanted it stopped. One more lesson in not assuming.
