How many people have to be attacked and seriously maimed before pit bulls are finally acknowledged as the problem?
Pitbulls are worse than coyotes because coyotes dont have the strength or size of a pit bull.
And coyotes dont have the devils P.R. team telling people there are no bad coyotes, its their upbringing, not the breed.
I threw a show at a coyote once and he ran away,
I threw a shoe at a pit bull once, he ran away and 5 minutes later he came back with a different shoe attached to a fresh bloody leg.
Oh my ... the drama!!
Temperament varies both within a breed and across breeds. Many breeds are known for higher levels of aggression. Chihuahuas and Dachshunds are known for being ornery, but neither have the bite strength or size to be life threatening. OTOH, Pits, Rotties, Shepherds, and quite a few more have the ability to maim significantly and kill. Golden retrievers have killed. The distinction is that it is incredibly rare for a GR to have the temperament to predispose them to that. That is not the case with the dogs I mentioned. Per capita statistics can show the trends.
Regardless of dog type, it is the responsibility of every owner to properly train their dog based on carful assessment of breed and individual temperament. there will be situations where no amount of training will render a dog safe. If there is no place for the dog to go it will likely need to be destroyed. OTOH, there are far too many owners who don't understand their particular dog's needs. They don't understand them, train them or exercise them. this is when people get hurt.
Bottom line is that there are both bad dogs and bad owners. A pit can be one of the sweetest dogs on earth, but when one that tends toward aggression gets with a lazy and ignorant owner there will be trouble. So you and those on the other end of the continuum should just dig in your heels and have at it.
It all has nothing to do with coyotes.
You implied the pit bull owners would or should be along shortly to defend the coyote

Maybe. But pit bull are not the topic of the article, coytotes are, and until people start keeping coyotes as pets, they are a different issue.
