But if it's dead can you torture it?
Well this is step 2 to illegalizing hunting in Texas. Step one was hiring(electing) the idiots who thought it up and let themselves be pressured by the minority.

Torture for ANY animal is unacceptable but so is coyotes living in the inner city in Houston. I have heard from LE that people living near Memorial Park are losing small pets to coyotes.

So if a Coyote is on my property, attacking my pet or my child, and I SHOOT it, I could be charged? Hogwash!

So, they want to outlaw killing wild animals? That means we won't need our guns for hunting anymore right? And if we don't need our guns for hunting and the nanny state is gonna ensure our safety and freedom, well, gee, we don't need guns at all.
Sound like I may be on the right (or leftist) track with my thinking?
I can't believe this article is from Texas. Sounds like they would try this in one of the communist states on the coast first.

There are plenty of coyotes living in NW Austin feasting on Fluffy and Spot and anything else that they can find.

I live in Fort Worth, I see coyotes, rabbits, etc. I am more concerened about "Yahoo Billy Bob" and his shotgun killing animals when children are near by, more so then the animals. Kids play outside all of the time and havent had any problems with coyotes, and my fat cat who goes outside hasnt had a problem either. Im all for relocating them, but really there is more stuff in the area to concentrate on then this. Relocate the coyote, tell "Yahoo Billy Bob" not to play with his gun (esp. after drinking, because it isnt a joke), and move on. And I am definitely all for protecting your family BY ALL MEANS NECCESARY.

I wonder how this bill reads and how it affects hunting. I am really not a big supporter of people that get off on killing and skinning cyotes as a joke. I also loathe people that keep pit-bulls as 'pets'. The bible actually mentions heathen cruelty to animals.

They ARE mice and rats.

No household vermin and rodents are excluded in the bill....
But not to worry that this will see the light of day imo. It was read once and sent to the Agriculture and Livestock Committee on 2/22/05 with no co-sponsors and no other action has occurred since. I suspect it like the majority of bills filed will die in committee....

If this law passed in Texas, then the best way to handle it is to flood the phone lines to the police department everytime a coyote (or other furry creature) comes in or near your yard.
It wouldn't take long before they either 1:repeal the law or 2: make it against the law to call 911 about (wild animals).
Probably #2

Don't know what your coyotes are eating, but a pack of coyotes caught and killed our cat behind our house in the Houston suburbs. Coyotes are still in the area as I have seen and heard them.
In our case, we now keep the new cat indoors. We also have a fence around the yard, which protects our dogs from the coyotes.
On the good news side, the coyotes do enforce the "leash laws" for pets. Free roaming pets are "dinner."

"I am more concerened about "Yahoo Billy Bob" and his shotgun killing animals when children are near by, more so then the animals."
My neighbors lose a cat about once a month to coyotes. The cats are half wild and live in their barn so they aren't too concerned, and my dogs are large enough, I think, to defend themselves, but I could never own a small dog or cat where I live, and I wouldn't want to allow children under 5 outside either. Coyotes are dangerous.
