It is natural for birds to hunt and kill small mammals and rodents. If you leave a beloved animal outside then you should not be surprised when nature takes course. It is not safe to put pets outside for a lot of reasons.
I have 5 pet chickens. Hawks and other animals such as raccoons and foxes try to kill them every so often. I’ve lost quite a few to predators, but I don’t think we should cull every hawk or fox or whatever in my county. My chicks are prey animals, like most small animals, and sometimes unfortunately they get killed. All I can do is make sure that I watch them when they go outside to freerange and to make sure they coop is secure. I would not leave a small dog or cat outside, that is the owner’s fault if a wild animal hurts them. Wild animals must hunt to survive. I don’t think we should cull a bunch of animals if they’re just acting how they’re supposed to and if they’re healthy.
