This is the problem with thois stupid definition of private property: you can do things that affect people & wildlife outside your property line & also outside any reasonable limit on your rights. Just like having a kid doesn't give you the right to do whatever you want with it. Kids have rights, and so does wildlife, plants, etc. Only a fool thinks "private property" gives you unlimited freedom.
