We have probably several packs of coyote in our she-she 'burb. Our telephone poles are littered with *missing* posters for cats and small dogs. Where do these yahoos think their pets are going?

On another side-note; when the kits are still around and a fire truck goes by ....they howl *back* at the fire siren. Kinda funny to hear.

They did a special on ‘city coyotes’ and went out at night and set up recorders and it was unreal how many coyotes howled/yipped during the night- right smack dab in the city- and they showed some night vision video showing coyotes running all over the city- So even in cities there is a ‘problem’ with overpopulation- but in cities they mainly take rats which is good to keep those numbers down too- problem is that some packs of coyotes become too aggressive and will go after folks, and pets too at some point- the following video is graphic attack on a pet right in the city- california- viewer discretion advised (pet appears to have survived though)

Coming from a family of trappers, IF you let your cats and small dogs run free you get what you deserve if your pet doesn’t come home.

ONLY collared animals are spared by my family if caught in a trap. If the same collared animal is caught over and over again it would be in danger of being dispatched,
