No you put out tasty bait to kill them - they are already a "nuisance and "in" the towns, neighborhoods etc.

And putting out poison bait in town that will kill any animal dumb enough to be attracted to easy food is callous arrogance. It is illegal for a reason. I hope your dog never gets out.

1 - coyotes are already killing pets in the community

2 - he has already discussed it with his neighbors

3 - the poison is on his property

4 - the poison isn't going to be out there for months

If the general consensus is it's too dangerous to pets then that's the answer. But if, as in #1, coyotes are killing unattended pets anyway and the fear is children are next, I guess I will just have to be guilty of "callous arrogance".
