“Coyotes are smart, and people are stupid,” she said.”
This reminds of when I was reading about bird feeders. One “expert” said that if you start feeding birds you must continue because they become dependent on your feeder. I thought, yeah, that makes sense. Then my brain kicked in and said wait, when a wild bird’s food source is exhausted they just die? No, they go find another food source. People are gullible.
