we had mice in my garage when i was a kid and we used no-kill traps to release them in the only nearby field, but a bunch of redtailed hawks wised up and used to just wait for us to release them so they could have dinner. i came around to just killing them with the traps as painlessly as possible, cause i figured it was less scary for the mice than running for your life only to get swooped upon by a big thing with talons. i dunno.

it's a hard problem.

Not to say the seriousness of the problem is unimportant (cause it is important), but I totally read that as "radiated hawks" at first
