OK, I understand that we have encroached on nature and ponds should
expect some predators. But the above seems to me to be a little over
the top. Didn't most of us get into this situation because we wanted to
sit by the pond with a favorite beverage, and gaze upon our creation and
enjoy it.

Can you really see the pond with a 6.5 foot fence around it?

Not really! The pond is actually part of a cat enclosure! It is part
of a 30 by 60 foot enclosure! It keeps my cats interested! Otherwise
it keeps my cats from during their speciality out in nature - killing
or being killed! I think that helps the creations outside of the pond
and enclosure from being inflicted by 5 cats intent on killing or
being killed!
