That's apparently what happened to a family of coyotes where I live in New York. One day there were some too-near gunshots and I stopped seeing the coyotes at dusk. And no one cares, far as I can tell.
I live in the Twin Citie’s first ring suburbs. Not long ago, a coyote was sighted a block or two away carrying a cat back to it’s hide to dine. Early settlers knew what to with large predators. Modern idiots aren’t so well educated.
Yeah, the same damn thing happened to me!
What does "S.S.S." mean, anyway ?
