Even here in the Midwest (Chicago Metro Area) I know of a person who lost a dog (of course it was a very, very small dog) to what we think was an owl.

Our dogs are too large to be prey, but I’ve seen quite a few hawks here in the daytime as well. If I had an ankle-biter dog (fat chance!) I’d be hesitant to let it out alone.

Round these parts it would more likely be a 'yote or a fisher cat, after small unsuspecting house pets

Make an animatronic appearing fake cat.

Fill fake cat with high explosive.

When owl swoops away with fake cat pulls safety pin and fake cat shreds bad owl.

Either that or build a quad 12 gauge autoloader ground to air attack platform with searchlights.

It’s a jungle out there;)

Visiting in suburban Maryland I learned there are coyotes, foxes, bald eagles, large & small hawks, raccoons, skunks, ground-hogs and the worst predators of all: DemocRATS!!!

Heres a little tip for the folks in Albuquerque. If ya own a pet the size of a rabbit don’t be surprise if critters try to eat it. Get a bigger pet!
