In breeding season grazing cattle may walk through the nest, breaking the eggs, while wild and domestic pigs may eat both eggs and chicks.

Hopefully at that point, a mixed flock will pass through the forest, kill a few cicadas, and give you a dozen lifers in one fell swoop. As for myself, although there are times when the forest might seem birdless, it’s always better to hang out with giant trees than watch Tropical Kingbirds in a hot, chigger infested cattle pasture.

Heartworms are easily controlled by any one of a number of medications designed to kill the worms or repel mosquitoes. Because the illness is mosquito-borne, the best way to avoid it is to kill the insects with something like a Mosquito Magnet or a product with DEET before the mosquitoes have an opportunity to pass on the virus.

There are two approaches a vegetarian might take in arguing that rearing and killing animals for food is morally offensive. He might argue that eating animals is morally bad because of the pain inflicted on animals in rearing and killing them to be eaten. Or he could object to the killing itself.
