So you guys disapprove of killing rats, raccoons, opossums, coyotes, bears, etc?

I'd shoot a rat in a heart beat. I never shoot coyotes or bobcats for some reason, I like watching them and I just leave them alone. Still have a shite ton of deer and turkeys where I hunt even with all the bobcats and coyotes, they gotta eat also. To me they are pretty animals. I don't shoot bears, I leave raccoons alone, and I'll only shoot a opossum if it's tearing up my yard, I shoot armadillos in my yard also, out in the woods hunting or scouting, I leave them all alone. Rats are disgusting.
