Because its California. The coyote would have to have been found proven guilty of capital murder in order for those liberals to do what every one with a brain would just do because it was the obvious solution to a problem.
Btw, CaCa is crawling with coyotes...Packs roam neighborhoods anywhere near hilly areas...Before I escaped, we routinely would see packs of 6 at a time walking right down the middle of the street in broad daylight. In S. CA their main diet are now pets. At night the cries coming from pets they caught sounded like a slaughter horror house. It became a nightly affair.
