My granddaughter’s corgi was severely mauled in his fenced yard this last weekend. Vet thinks he will likely live. This happened in the Atlanta suburb of Dunwoody. Here in southeast Missouri coyotes are considered pests and are shot on sight.
There has been a pack of Coyotes in Dunwoody near Nancy Creek for years now. They attack pets all the time. They got a professional trapper after them once but he didn’t have much luck. We are lousy with coyotes all over the Atlanta area.
Be glad you are in Georgia. Here in suburban next-to-wild-hills SoCal no one would shoot them, who knows, maybe it’s even illegal. And it is dangerous to just allow them to get bolder and bolder and eat pets and keep coming back into the suburbs to get more goodies. They should lose pack members when they come into neighborhoods. This is not an animal minding its own business who happens to be dangerous, like the innocent rattlesnake. WE should watch out for them. The coyote is basically encouraged to come into the hood and we need to DIScouage this.
