poor dog and owners. but its stupid to assign human motives of cruelty to a hungry wild animal. If it was some dirt bag kid out for “kicks”, I’d want his hide. But an animal doesn’t know hes killing someones pet, just wants to eat. I lost my 13 year old cat one night to a hungry coyote. Just broke my heart, but I knew it wasn’t personal. My fault for letting the cat out at night.
I too just lost a cat to a coyote. I'm making it personal. Just invested in an electronic predator call and #4 buckshot for the Beretta, since it's too populated around here to use my deer rifle.

So, let’s help Mr. Kitty out: Tranquilize him, then beat the krap out of him while he’s immobilized. Just in case he’s a slow learner, crack a few ribs (the gift that keeps on giving). Have all in attendance defecate and urinate on him, then dump him way out in the wilderness. Do you think he’ll get the idea that, if you screw with bipeds or their four-legged parasites, things can go south?

Wild animals don’t just kill for food.
I have a few ferals out and about. They kill birds, lizards,
go for some possum, or squirrels. Plus to feed them, I gotta
hire(in an indirect way) someone to kill lots of chickens,
lambs, fish, turkeys, cows, and steers just to let them eat.
So if a coyote is hungry and gets one of our cats, although
we are saddened, we know that our cats(both your and mine)
does the same thing to other smaller game. I bet your little “muffie”(and I like my cats, too) has
killed a few helpless furry cute little animals behind your back.
Any which way you look at it, the “dog eat dog world” ain’t too
pretty.
Plus the cat would never cut out your genitalia like they
get it done to them.
