They’ve been killing pets in their yards here in southern Arizona.
A dog was killed by a coyote right in front of the sweet little old lady up the street a few years ago. She was right next to her beloved little dog in her back yard when it happened. It was so sad.
In Tennessee. They’re everywhere now.

Local coyotes are pretty brazen these days. In the last week I know of 3 dogs attacked in separate incidents over by Millmar and Harrison in southeast Tucson. In one case a pack of coyotes with at least 3 large size Mexican wolf hybrids chased the dog out of the wash into the stables right in front of my wife. The beasts stood off a few yards away outside the paddock while the dog cowered behind my wife. Fortunately my wife’s horse took offense and charged them, sending them running.
I’m suspecting the reason they’re so brazen is because they’re getting fed, either people are feeding them, they’re eating food that’s left out, or they’re just finding pets are easy pickings.
