Coyotes, don can
cause great damage
I have a reply to “Doit owners shocked, saddened by shootings.”
Coyotes do pose a danger to other animals, cattle, pigs - even humans. They will eat small dogs and cats. ! lived out West for two years and I'm a tittle familiar with them.
Dogs who are left to roam can do a lot of damage, too. Once they get a taste of blood, you almost can’t stop them. My parents had chickens when 1 was little and they had a problem with dogs a couple of times.
There is a big black dog that comes in my yard and challenges me and my little dog to fight. He defecates around my door and urinates on my house.
Also. I’ve had cows come in my yard, destroy my trees and landscaping and leave dung everywhere, t was informed they were owned by a certain person. I sent him two letters and a certificate letter asking that he replace the trees.
Animals come on your property and do whatever they want and you are made to look like the bad guy.
