The vets here see 2-3 attacks per week! Coyotes are brutal on small dogs and cats. Tare them to pieces.
Shoot 'em if you see 'em!

A coyote does not differentiate between a pet or a small child as prey. A small child playing with or walking a pet is a target themself. If you have coyotes living with humans with no fear, you have a real danger to your small kids. Their pack and hunting behavior is a threat that should not be ignored before a tragedy makes it front page news. If you see one around your home or school, take them out.

Shoot them if you can do so safely and remove the danger.

If we replace every patch of green grass in our suburbs with a strip mall, and put our neighborhoods in the only remaining forest, then we shouldn't be surprised to find ourselves chillin' with coyotes, and the things they eat. I don't know much about hunting but haven't the seasons been made shorter or something too? Probably a combination of wildlife overpopulation and then concentrating that population into smaller and smaller areas. And those "areas" are usually our parks and back yards.

Canine / mammal version of the cockroach. Adaptable and once they figure out the environment you can't get rid of them. They do make good target practice. Miss one and you'll probably not get a second shot.

UT you have a mouse squeaker call? Good hunting.

A coyote grabbed a 2-year-old girl by the head and tried to drag her from the front yard of her mountain home in the third incident of a coyote threatening a small child in Southern California in five days, authorities said. The coyote attacked the girl around noon Tuesday when her mother, Melissa Rowley, went inside the home for a moment to put away a camera, the San Bernardino County Sheriff?s Department said in an incident report.

"Hi, I live in a mountain home, encroaching directly on the natural territory of an opportunistic, scavenger predator. I think I will leave my defenseless sack of wet meat I call my child out in the un-fenced yard. What could go wrong?"
