Many towns refer you to a NWCO and you have to pay for their services. We could not field enough municipal officers to deal with all the wildlife problems the public has without an increase in taxes. Past times people dealt with these issues on their own for the most part. Our population and demographics are changing and so is it seems our abilities to deal with country type problems. Since no one traps anymore, animal populations will be controlled by mother nature through disease and sometimes starvation. If you have seen a sick animal and know that distemper and rabies are an event that lasts for several weeks or more then a hunter or trapper might be considered much more desireable than the sick or hungry route. Isn't PETA a wonderful thing!!! Just had to vent!!!
