The coyote, unlike Laura Ingraham, needs no help. Coyotes adapt and thrive. They also know their job and are not sheep in wolves’ clothing. Laura, is a cool aid drinker in Conservative’s clothing. Her credibility is zippo with me. In fact she is very much a Carville talk alike, just for the other party. On the other hand, a coyote’s howl is genuine. Go coyotes.

I asked a local Fish and Game official (animal supremacist) why coyotes had more of a right to exist in our 60-year-old CA neighborhood than our cats and dogs, who are being attacked and eaten by the coyotes, and she had no answer.

at first I mistakenly thought this was about two-legged coyotes- they definitely are thriving in the civilized urban areas of San Diego… LOL

Our forefathers of recent historical past were perfectly able to recognize a threat and a varmint. Are we so urbanized that we have lost our ability to reason when confronted with a wild creature? I love animals, but willingly kill and eat them. I also have sense enough to value myself, my family, other humans, and those animals in my care above them. It’s a no-brainer! As the most intelligent life form on this planet, we must be able to effectively reason this out. Why can’t we? Coyotes in an urban setting? Bad news. It’s OK to protect you and yours!

My family has lived in San Diego County for over 60 years. When I was a child, my father taught me how to keep our pets and myself safe from coyotes and mountain lions and other predators who lived in the hills and valleys around our home. We didn’t need a gun–just common sense. We carried rifles for protection but used them only to scare off a predator if it became a threat. We never lost any pets or livestock to any wild predators–at least the four-legged kind. Coyotes kept down the rabbits, gophers, mice and rats that often destroyed our grove. Now that they have been eradicated from our area, we spend a lot of money and time trying to gopher-proof, rabbit-proof–on traps, bait, and endless discussions with Vector Control about what to do. Anyone who thinks killing coyotes is a good idea simply is ignorant.
