Coyotes can jump very high fences. Here in Coyote Country, there are regular stories of them stealing pets out of fenced yards. Sometimes they try for toddlers!
I’d put a nice bowl of anti freeze on top of poor Nala’s grave.
But I’m harsh.

When I first realized what happened to her I was so filled with anguish and rage that I was ready to find the beast and wring its scrawny neck with my bare hands. It seemed likely I’d be horribly injured in the process, so I turned my thoughts to building a bear snap trap baited with a steak. In my mind, I’d repeatedly return to see it stuck there dying slowly and just watch it die a horrible death, so you’re not harsh at all. Fortunately, I had to go to Atlanta the next day and enough time passed that my rage subsided before I could carry out a plot that would have permanently damaged my soul.
I hope to hear from the wildlife people tomorrow about trapping it more humanely than my dumbass idea (HT to my Dad). My own forest exploration and all of the comments here have given me lots of information that I can use to persuade them of its danger should they show any reluctance.
