of course

the real solution to curbing urban wildlife populations, or at least living in healthy symbiosis with them, isn't bait or traps or releasing predators, but evolving as human beings to the point where we can communicate with all living organisms and explain to them politely that if we cannot respect each other's mutual territory we'll have no choice but to defend ourselves.

so then, when some naughty squirrel is chewing up our heirloom tomatoes or some bad fox is killing our chickens we don't have to put down poison to kill them, we can just explain to them that we love our tomatoes and our chicken eggs, and to please stop eating our tomatoes and chickens or else we'll have to eat them and make nice fur coats out of their lovely pelts. but the choice is theirs, at least, you know? they can either stop eating the tomaters, or i can make a warm comfy squirrel-fur hat.

we humans just need to learn how to communicate with the animals. it's totally possible. maybe through some wireless brain-computer interface of some sorts. to communicate the intent, the thought, the idea, to another species. not just animals, i'm thinking, but other people too. if two people speak two completely different languages and as such can't have fluent verbal communication they could could just communicate the idea rather than the words.

this would also work with alien lifeforms, i imagine. what if life actually exists on other planets, and we one day meet that life, but we're completely incapable of communicating effectively? a neat little BCI thought-machinamabob would certainly come in handy.
