Coyotes are horrible creatures. They eat through everything in the area, get hungry and get vicious. I used to have a very live and let live attitude towards them, until one started loping across the field at me as I was leaving the coop.most times coyotes really clean up feral populations shame is after they get done with the cats they will eat lap dogs as well I get rid of quiet a few fox for homeowners and when they tell me they are missing small dogs I know it is yotes not fox
Same with feral cats. I was always appalled that The Man would be so quick to dispatch a "kitty", until I started finding bits and pieces of birds and rabbits (wild) around our yard.
They're both nuisance animals, and after cleaning up several predator messes, I've gotten on the shoot on sight bandwagon.
