[Ag-eq] Chicken Lady

[Susan Roe]

Thanks Jody,

I really hope that trap wasn't on our property.  We do have a few groundhogs 
and they are really becomeing a big pest, but we'd never allow someone to 
put traps out for them because of what just happened.  If we had too, I'd 
just get someone to shoot them.  We are very restrictive about who hunts the 
property because I want to know who is here and when.  We have two 
individuals who hunt here, a neighbor with his daughter and another neighbor 
with his two sons.  They all mostly bow hunt, with a bit of shot gun later 
in the season.  They all call me before they come over and tell me where 
they are parked and if they have shot anything.  I have several nice pieces 
of deer meat in my freezer and I am glad for it.

What really has me concerned about the trap is that Dover would have never 
messed with something like that unless it was baited with food he'd be 
interested in.  I don't think he would have stuck his head in an animal den 
or even in a culvert without food being involved.  The whole thing just 
creeps me out.  Could someone have done this intending on catching one of my 
dogs?  We also have a farrel cat population and what if they were the 
intended target just to be nasty?
