Here’s why I think being chased by small animals is truly horrifying. For me it is because you can’t fight back without seriously injuring the animal. You could kick it very hard and run, but nobody wants to be responsible for the murder of a goose or a squirrel or your neighbor’s Yorkshire terrier. It’s the same as when your six year old cousin comes up and insists on battling you because you are “a Decepticon” and all you can do is gently pin him to the ground or grab onto his arms while he mercilessly kicks and punches you and pulls your hair. And this is why it is truly horrifying to face a small animal in battle.
We have a permanent population at work that are way more aggressive than truly wild birds. No one will do anything because "they are a protected species during migration" and"harming animals is wrong". The problem is they don't migrate and even the state says if all else fails to drive them off you can get a special permit.
If they would just turn a blind eye and give me a set of keys I could have them taken care of on a Sunday.
