Killing a few will not curb the species. They want to see the wild animals but they want them to behave in a certain way. They want them to sit quietly in the yard, be nice, not eat the ornamental plants, not eat the garden, not be the animals they're supposed to be. They want them to sit there and look pretty. We try to teach people that the animals in their neighborhood have needs and they have to accept the animals for what they are and learn to live with them.
Animals are neither trespassers, vandals, nor thieves.
If you want to evict an animal, you can do it. You can tease them out with food, you can set up something scary like a radio blaring. In part, these conflicts between animals and humans also involve issues of control. Humans, and perhaps especially those more used to urban environments, assume a kind of dominion over their surroundings. We erect structures, alter landscape, plow and pave the world to conform to our vision of the way things should be.
