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.
Sounds like it is the humans home and the animals have moved in on them.
