Yeah. I feel like city-type humans have gotten too amenable to getting bullied by animals in their environment, and it's teaching bad lessons. You notice that the geese don't do the whole "fuck you I chase you hissing" thing if there is a dog anywhere even vaguely in the vicinity of the human, because it knows exactly what the score will wind up at with the dog involved.

I do get it, nobody wants to be the guy that messed up the happy family because they got a little territorial. It sounds like you struck the right balance.
