I've seen large statues of St. Francis of Assisi in the yards and gardens of people who are self avowed sport hunters. They kill for sport, not simply out of necessity. St. Francis loves animals and represents kindness to other creatures. How appropriate is it for him to be in the yard of someone who likes to kill?
I'm talking about killing for fun, not for necessity. It's the idea of recreational killing I'm getting at here - killing as a form of entertainment. St. Francis couldn't be pleased to be associated with it.
If it weren't for managed and controlled hunting - killing for food or sport - then the animal populations would get so large that it would tax the natural resources that they live off of. Then many would be sick and starving and that would be bad. Animals don't have the endless wilderness that they used to have, thanks to man. So since man put them in this mess, man needs to be responsible for helping them maintain a healthy environment so that they can be healthy, too.
Think of the animal shelters. Say you only have a capacity for 200 dogs. The incoming rate of dogs per day is so great (over the rate of adoptions out) that you have exceeded space, water, and food capacity and are running at above capacity. This means that the dogs all suffer from less food, stress, kennel cough, and other illness related to a crowded population. If the shelter does not receive enough funding to support the animal population, they have to kill animals to make room for the new ones. Man put them in this problem by not spaying/neutering, and not taking care of their pets, and man is responsible for managing them and trying to help them out.
The bible tells us man is responsible for caring for the land and for tending to the beasts.

Using a St. Francis Garden Statue To Bring Peace and Tranquility ...
Many people favor religious garden statues in their gardens, and St. Francis is one of the most popular religious figures to use. St. Francis of Assisi is the patron saint of animals. He lived from 1182 to 1226 and is reported to be able to communicate with the animals.
In garden statues St. Francis is usually depicted with animals or holding a large dish to feed animals from. He wears a monks robe and has a monks haircut. Many people feel that having a St. Francis garden statue brings a sense of peace to their garden and house.
St. Francis garden statues come in many sizes from very small to very large. How you use one depends on your style. Generally, the larger the garden, the larger the statue it can handle.
When deciding on what kind of St. Francis to buy, think about the space you will put him in and the effect you would like to achieve.
For more formal gardens, or very large cottage gardens a life size (or nearly life size) statue will usually work best. A fountain featuring St. Francis can easily become the focal point in any formal garden. While a St. Francis holding a bowl to put birdseed in makes a great accent in a cottage gardens.
