That didn’t work out well at all, since coyotes filled the void that left, have overpopulated and are out of control-they do not avoid humans the way wolves do. If an animal species is over populating, then have a hunting season, like we do for deer, birds, bear, etc-animals that overpopulate become unhealthy and starve-there is a season on wolves in Alaska and a few other places to keep them at a healthy number in the scheme of things-if you wipe out a species, another one that you will like less is guaranteed to move right in...
Yotes are not as big a threat to humans and livestock as wolves are. Not a zero threat, just not as bad.
If the dogooders would leave folks alone, yotes could start to disappear as well.
