we practiced in an old building from 1960s surrounded by a large wooded lot. we shared with lots of animals. there were some mice. we set out the traps. got a few. then they disappeared. few months later, while i was dusting behind the shomen, a big black snake stuck its head out. chased it outside. 'em tasted like chicken with lots of bones. stopped wondering about where the mice went. there were roaches. bug sprayed. there were bees. left them alone. bought some honey. killed some spiders inside. left the one outside alone. a deer shown up on regular basis with its two little ones. watched them play in the grass and wondering why i had an urge for venison. went for a big juicy hamburger instead (why call hamburger when there isn't any ham involved? same with hotdogs). one must live with nature, right at the top of the food chain.
