Coyotes eat anything - even people if they run. Small children would be a treat. They love domestic cat. They'll eat large dogs, goats, calves, deer, anything.

Coyotes run in packs. They send out the weakest member of the pack to intimidate and distract the prey. The others circle around the intended victim to catch it if it runs. If the prey runs, it's edible. If it puts up a good fight, and wins against the weakest member, it's not edible.

We have them around here, and they have no natural predators to control them. We can hear them yipping in the woods at night.
ALL animals get locked up at night, and people don't walk alone past sundown unless they're armed.

Putting carnivorous animals at the top of the food chain is a very, very bad idea.

I heard a dog get torn to pieces by what sounded like a pack of coyotes, and it was one of the saddest, most unpleasant sounds I have ever heard.

I didn’t see what was happening because it was distant through the woods, but that was just what it was. No mistaking it for anything else.

It was awful to hear.

Most of the time when I see yotes...they are alone.

I guess God was wrong then........
