This should be pretty straightforward, but for those who are unaware: We have many critters in our urban environment. Critters like crows, skunks, raccoons and coyotes. The thing about wild critters, especially raccoons and coyotes, is sometimes they like to fight or hunt. They like to fight or hunt animals that are their size or a little bit smaller.
