[MikeVick] So you're saying rottweiler - coyote fights would have been even better?[/MikeVick]

Give 'em all ACME gift cards... they'll take themselves out

bold ?

probably not the best word usage based upon accepted definitions. but when i think of the word wilding i think of the definition used to describe high school kids in new york who were killing random homeless people for fun. thats essentially what some peoples dogs do. a few neighborhood pets meet up when let out and go on the hunt. they have no fear of people and no qualms with attacking any target of opportunity. regardless, i should have chose my words better.

so your neighbors labs, retrievers, yorkies and german sheps would jump their fences (or not have fences) pack up, go for a hunt for a neighbors cat, have a bite to eat and come home in time for dinner?

or are you talking about feral dogs that are running loose, or are "abandoned" offspring, etc

the one i shot and killed had a collar and very likely a home to go back to. the one my doberman nearly killed was later picked up by its owner. he threated to sue us.

the feral question is harder to answer. i would say very few if any were born "wild". though i saw many only from a distance. but to me they appeared to be in too good a condition health/weight/coat wise to be truly wild animals without a home of some sort. while we did have a lot of problems with people dropping off dogs and cats on our property. i would put money that at least 50% of the dogs causing trouble were sleeping on someones couch that night. the rest were very likely outdoor pets who were permitted to roam for the day.

how can i be so confident? simple really. the dogs people dropped off you would see in or around the same area nearly ever single day for a week or two. later you would see them dead on the road where they were dumped or they just stopped showing up (likely killed by something or died of exposure/starvation/dehydration). the others you would see maybe 1 or 3 times a year. we typically had 20 mousers that lived almost exclusively outside along with chickens and other livestock. if the packs i saw were truly feral your going to have a hard time convincing me they wouldn't continually frequent such an abundant stationary and largely undefended food source. simply put, too many different dogs were involved over too long a timeframe for them to be actual wild dogs.

A teenage folk singer was attacked and killed by two coyotes
in a national park in eastern Canada.

Taylor Mitchell, 19, was attacked while she was hiking alone
in Cape Breton Highlands Park, Nova Scotia, when she was
attacked by two of the animals on Tuesday. She died of her
wounds on Wednesday.

Nearby walkers heard her screams and alerted park rangers,
who arrived on the scene and shot one of the animals. The
other has yet to be found.

That's awful. It's so rare that they attack humans like that.
