Fools....just fools....the coyotes won’t just breed between themselves...they’ll breed with domestic dogs too!
Fools...RABIES....
The Cleveland Plain Dealer is reporting that Cleveland Metroparks officials have closed part of the North Chagrin Reservation after a pair of aggressive female coyotes bit a bicyclist and a pet dog over the weekend.
A Bath man’s Pomeranian dog recently suffered a vicious attack by what appears to be a coyote. The dog survived deep lacerations and blood loss and is recuperating with about 100 stitches.
A coyote has attacked a 3-year-old girl playing in her backyard in suburban New York, the second coyote attack on a child in the same suburb within four days.
A mother’s day in the park with her 7-year-old turned into a nightmare when she and her son were stalked by a pair of coyotes at Edison Woods MetroPark.
When three deputies arrived, the coyotes “acted aggressive and charged at them,” prompting the deputies to shoot, Capt. Paul Sigsworth said.
Their -are- idiots who breed captive coyotes to dogs and sell them.
The odds of a wild coyote/dog mix are slim to none.
The most pressing argument against is the coyote’s appetite for dogs.
The biological argument is that males coyotes participate heavily in the rearing of their pups, an act which the female coyote depends upon and is totally absent in the nature of the domestic dog.
Tests done on alleged ‘wild coydogs’ have shown no domestic dog DNA.
There is some small chance that a domestically created coydog could escape and be mistaken for a true, wild bred mix...unless real coyotes eat it, first.
[coyotes do not observe “professional courtesy” as a rule]
The threat of rabies, however, is real and valid.
