I hadn't really thought of trying to homestead but I think you're right about this.

There are no reasons that I can think of that would keep me from setting up/constructing a rabbit hutch,,,or a corral for stray cows (mavericks), horses (mustangs), or the occasional lost buffalo (unless it was a white buffalo). LOL!!

All surviving critters can be released when it's time to go home.

One thing I didn't address and perhaps I should, for the benefit of getting people's opinions:

I tend to leave the shelters that I make, intact, when I leave. I can see someone in a bad way, finding a shelter, in whatever condition, with some firewood standing by, being able to make use of it.
