well me myself if a bird of prey was on one of my birds and i could swing for him i would and then knuckle him! its as simple same as if sum1 seen a dog rippin there cat apart they would try help another example if if a big dog tried attcking your little dog you would help!!
and i believe that we should have a right at least if the bird of prey is on our propertie would be handy for the closed season
