Ironically, I was reading a letter to the editor in the "Nashville Tennessean" today, from a guy mad that a town near Nashville's police officers were going to trap some 'yotes and move (or kill) them. He was trying to say, in his letter, that coyotes are beneficial to the ecosystem. So dumb he didn't realize coyotes are not native to this area and "ecosystem."
Middle Tennessee has had a lot of problems from coyotes, several pets being eaten, etc.
I think we ought to trap those excess 'yotes in middle Tennesse and make that idiot pen them in his yard (grin).
If these PETA types love the coyotes so much, then they should live together inside the same pen.
This is clearly the result of coyotes feeling oppressed. It isn't right that we Americans have so much, and they're forced to crap in the woods.
I think we need mandatory coyote tolerance and diversity training classes, in addition to a federally-funded garbage buffet to make things right for these poor critters.
Perhaps if they talk real nice to the coyotes, and see things from their point of view, they'll leave people alone.
