    Back in the 70's, after my Grandpa had gotten older, he couldn't stand shooting or killing anything. (He was country folk and had hunted when he was younger). After he noticed the rabbits were eating his lettuce, he decided to plant a whole back row of lettuce just for them. They gorged themselves back there and never bothered the rows he grew for himself closer to the house! He was quite proud of that!

      see also: animals passing away of sadness when someone they were attached to dies, or animals not eating because they are too depressed their owner isn't there. and using a cat I knew as an example, he would always meow and purr at us when we came to visit him because he was lonely after my great grandmother passed away.

We had a a huge infestation, about 150-200 groundhogs, they decimated all our crops, destroyed our porch and siding of our house. It all started because of our neighbor who had them on their property and fed them well, unfortunately he got sick and moved in with his daughter out of state, we had a small family farm and now being hungry they migrated to us, We had no choice but to use poison to kill them, bastards are pretty cute but they have a huge appetite and with numbers they become unleased monsters.
