You see a cat inside city limits when multiple domestic animals have been taken? There are children in the area who are less able to take care of themselves. PC my butt take him out and be done with it.
multiple domestic animals / partners...
You’re not going to be done with anything, really, though. Coyotes are pervasive throughtout the west. They’re definitely going to be taking pets that are left outside. Mountain lions will do the same thing. Maltese and Shih-tzus are not exactly difficult meals.
I guess it depends on how densely the area is populated. Hunting them to thin the population is generally a good idea. It also reinstalls a fear of man in them, which a bunch of urbanite idiots can’t seem to comprehend. The Californians who moved to Colorado will raise chaos if someone starts shooting coyotes, for instance.
I wonder what will happen if the lion does get a child......will they be able to kill it then?
