I kept chanting, "Please don't be a dead coyote, please don't be a dead coyote..." and I got my wish.
maybe today will be better than I think. *fervent wish*

It could have been very sad, but now he's in prison.

She would do the same to you.
And by "cuddle", I mean gnaw.

Interesting. Usually he just slams into the rock wall where he'd painted a tunnel only moments ago.

Sorry kiddies. I've no love for vermin coyote. They're opportunist killers. Many a family have lost a much loved cat or pooch to these critters. They're survivors, don't need our help other than to let our pets out at night for their dining pleasure.

Mr. Peas: In which millennium B.C. did you move to your neighborhood to predate the arrival of these "vermin coyote(s)?"
A guy moved in across the lane a few years back and thought it was wonderful to achieve a long standing dream of living in the country and keeping his own chickens. He built perches on his front porch and was angered to find the local raccoons liked them, too. He wanted to borrow a gun or two to deal with them. I offered to help him build a coop, instead. |

We too have coyotes in our neighborhood, and raccoons.
And I too find myself worried about a confrontation between our dog and the "wild critters". Of course they can all carry rabies, and I don't advocate trying to pet them. I'm even bothered by a currently running commercial showing a woman calling a raccoon into her bedroom (for some stupid reason) to sell some product. But I'm quite willing to believe that the diet of coyotes, either in the true wilds or in our more civilized neighborhoods, is much more composed of rodents and other wild critters than of pet cats, puppies, or young children. |

If they're around city folk, they very quickly learn to expect "hand outs", from owners who leave their pets outside.
Whether inside a fenced yard (6 ft fence is nothing for them to jump over), on the front porch or rear patio, doesn't matter. The SPCA doesn't get many calls to pick up stray cats or dogs - coyotes get them first. It makes sense from a predators POV of course. A plump pug inside a 5 ft. high fence is so much easier to catch, than a jackrabbit in the wild. The culverts and flash flood control canals make excellent "highways" for them to travel along at night, avoid cars, and quickly sweep into a suburb. I applaud the rescue to stop this suffering, but since the coyotes have killed so many pets, and even a few people, I'd have no problem if they stopped "Holly's" suffering more permanently. |
