Natural Pest Control FAIL

Blackbirds have chomped off the tops of two of my tomato plants. To keep them away, I had a brainstorm: Vacuum the house, collect about a gallon of cat hair from the bag, scatter the cat hair around the edges. That ought to scare off any blackbird.
Come back an hour later, and there are sure enough no blackbirds around. Instead there's a 30-pound bulldog lying in the middle of everything, looking around expectantly.
What's the organic method of getting rid of bulldogs?

Well, now you're gonna need to attract a cougar, that'll teach any pesky dog an important lesson on why it's not a good idea to wait around for mysterious cats!

Then the zoo will be poorly managed and have to be bailed out by the tax payers.

Then after the tax payer's are broke from paying higher property tax, sales tax, and entrance fees for the zoo they're paying for, they are left with no other choice than to eat black birds three times a week. PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!!
