When you grow up in the country, some things are just a given...Hawks and foxes are shot because they get the chickens, rabbits, quail, etc...And a stray dog, or cat won't make it long either, just not tolerated...
Ditto on that most city folks will never understand even if the hunt.
Deuteronomy 12:15-16
Nevertheless, you may slaughter your animals in any of your towns and eat as much of the meat as you want, as if it were gazelle or deer, according to the blessing the Lord your God gives you. Both the ceremonially unclean and the clean may eat it. But you must not eat the blood; pour it out on the ground like water.
