Wish people would just relocate the critters rather than killing them. I live in Los Angeles in the San Fernando Valley and saw a coyote outside my office last week. It was a shock because we aren’t close to the hills. But when it realized we were behind the window, it moved off. Poor thing, it really wanted the cat food that we put out for the ferals. He seemed really hungry.

HA ha ha hahahaha!

OK, now I understand. You think they’re endangered... right? :-)

>> Poor thing, it really wanted the cat food that we put out for the ferals.

HA HA HA ha ha ha again. The “poor thing” doesn’t want the cat food, as much as it wants your CAT!!!!

I disagree. When a species outgrows their food supply, comes into town and hunts cats, it means there are too many of them. There are too many coyotes in lots of places, they are not endangered.

"I live in Los Angeles in the San Fernando Valley and saw a coyote outside my office last week."

Yeah. I had one pass me by just about every morning on a hill range in Calabasas. They don't attack prey taller than themselves. All it came by for is water out of a sprinkler before a rabbit breakfast. It sat down to watch me work a few times. Nice strong looking tan dog. Very fast. Too bad you can't own or interact with one.

coyotes are a wild dog, and can be very dangerous, and there’s tons of them around. altho they’re typically scavengers, lately there are more and more reports of them breeding with domestic dogs, banding in packs, and attacking humans.

No, it really wanted the feral cats.

Coyotes are not endangered animals. They are generally too smart to be caught in live traps. Aggressive coyotes like the ones in the story should be killed, since they are a threat to humans.

Without the threat of hunting, coyotes are quickly colonizing America's suburbs. There is plenty of food -- poodles, yorkies, cats, fat backyard squirrels, even deer.

You are insane. When the coyotes drag off a child in LA, will you feel pleased? You don’t relocate these dangerous pests...you eradicate them.
