Did something just happen? Just curious why all the coyote hate.
I don't have a problem with them as long as they have the sense to stay the F away from me and my family.
However, the ones that are emboldened due to ignorant humans leaving out trash/food/feeders? Well, those ignorant humans "should" be the ones to deal with the problem they created, but since they aren't usually around when the wildlife gets too close, I don't begrudge the person who has to defend themselves.
It's still a sad waste of a predator. In my opinion.
