Funny, I thought it was because we are building our homes where their homes were/are.

Nope.

When people build roads and then homes where coyotes have always roamed, why are they surprised when the coyotes go after their pets?

The coyotes have not always roamed in those areas.

Seems perfectly logical to me.

Possibly because you don't know what is going on?

Perhaps it is because the number of animals is increasing.

I know this is not what disney wants you to believe but it is true.

There are a lot more wild animals in the Eastern US then there were in the 100 years prior.

And even more being brought in by WEF nitwits who want to "re-wild" areas where humans live.

Where I live it is semi rural. Lots of farm land that surrounds me. Lots of wildlife here, too. Not just coyotes. Deer, raccoons, possums, skunks, groundhogs, bobcats, foxes, wild turkeys, owls, hawks, etc, etc. There’s a creek running through my very wooded backyard. I see these animals on a daily basis.

Our town wants to buy up some of that farmland behind my property, and build a road on the other side of the creek. Pretty sure when that happens the folks that buy those new dinky little slivers of land will be surprised to find all these creatures joining them and their pets.

You may be right that some people are bringing them in to some areas, but I think these particular critters have been here for a while, and that this is their home that humans have built into. I think if you ask the farmers around here, they’ll agree with me.

Are they increasing in number? I have no idea. There’s a fairly steady number of deer out here. As the new ones are born each year, the older ones die or are killed for food.

Maybe you’re right though. I’m certainly no expert.
