Um, cougars will hunt people. Especially small children.
Coyotes have also been known to hunt children. I read of one scenario in which a homeowner fended off a coyote who was attacking her child in the backyard one afternoon. A well known characteristic of coyotes is their ability to 'lock in' on a target. Well, in the case of the homeowner, for the next couple of weeks the coyote kept coming back at the exact same time every day looking for the kid.

Coyotes and wolves never attack children, or man unless they are laid out dead, or near death. They will watch you from afar and go pee where you stood after you are gone, but they never attack.

I agree coyotes are a nuicanse basically out here people just run them over, they should be caught and euthanized instead of being ran over constantly
