I know that WFTs are bred to hunt/kill vermin, but, is it OK to let her do this?
Virginia, I'm not sure what you are asking. Is it socially appropriate in front of dinner guests? Probably not. Will it turn her into a trained killer, unsafe to be around small children? Probably not. Is there something about eating her kill that could hurt her? I always wondered. For instance, if a rat had ingested poison and my Jack Russell killed and ate it, could she get sick? I never found out and she ended up being killed by a cougar, a fate probably not directly associated with her ability to kill and eat small rodents. I think it's disgusting, but she never seemed to suffer any ill effects - unless perhaps the over confidence that led her to tackling a mountain lion. Nancy
