Hi Daniel. Yes this the way that wildlife handles encroachment in their territory. Unfortunately the young suffer and humans try to think in human terms that this should not occur. However in nature this behavior prevents the possible introduction of disease in certain areas and mitigates predators following and finding other families. Sheila
