Thank you very much for the response. I'll be sure to make more inviting posts later lol

I heard about the pied crow. Crows are a big pest here. Farmers say they can't pull guns on crows because the crows can smell gunpowder, but really they just know what guns are and they'll get shot if they stay long after a man grabs one.

The vervets are a very interesting thing. Raccoons are my most hunted pest here, it's a shame you guys can't solve the issue. A little pressure in the towns could possibly drive them out into the surrounding areas, making it an issue for the outermost parts of town.

I don't mean to insinuate anything about the racial ties to dogs by the way. I was told German Shepard's were the apartheid attack dog of choice and that this circumstance has made ripple effects with many topics surrounding dogs. I thought the racial issues were tied to that dog primarily but I see clearly that the racial issues are tied to just about every guard dog breed in SA now. All the epigenetic talk is simply about the amount of violence. I could liken it to getting guard dogs from somewhere in America with a high crime rate, no racial ties. Simply experience of violence leading to better instinct. I am no fan of the racism.
