Not comparing city living or country living here. That is getting off topic, you are correct. The summary of what hanging coyotes on a pole means when defended by many statements about how they are pests that disturb a persons pets is that people value cats and dogs more than wild animals. To me that is myopic. I said it in a previous comment, what happens when that country house which had previous cats and dogs for 50 years gets sold and a new owner moves in, an owner without pets. Yet for those 50 years the beaver, muskrat, coyotes, etc were shot to hell and the populations decimated. We live on this earth a very very very very very very very short time, yet humans think their life is the penultimate moment in the universe and the world be damned if they can't have a cat named mr biggles and dog named rover as a selfish rebellion to the salt of the earth. No need to talk of eco nuts, and the pollution in other countries is no topic here. I think humans do a poor job of being stewards of the land. You should all look up the term terraforming and see what we have and are doing to north America. pile diking the rivers, leveling mountain tops, building cities over the most fertile of crop ground as Omaha expands. Look at corn country Eastern Nebraska, boy howdy good luck finding any native prairie(there is some), any that was left got plowed under in the last 10 years as corn prices went up. I don't believe defending a choice that only selfishly serves is anyway to live in harmony with neighbors. I am not against killing a coyote, but killing 12, yeah that seems a bit much. I respect everyones opinions and arguments, just remember we are people who all have a talent, skill, or knowledge and we are discussing a topic. So I was in outside Yellowstone park on a trail ride. The ranger was giddy to tell me she did her first elk hunt recently. She shot a mother elk, she know so after she dropped the animal and the baby elk was baying next to it. So her boyfriend on the hunt, said, well if I don't the wolves will, so he used his ticket and shot the elk calf. Now now, I am not teary eyed as I write this. What is speaks to me is they are idiots. Any 'hunter' with some reasoning could likely have you know, spotted out that there were a mother calf pair BEFORE shooting? I know, I know boo hoo. I am sure that was a one in a million scenario where a hunter screwed up, right? No matter what the reasoning is, it comes down to the fact that those coyote carcass are hanging because that person loves to kill. so much so that he thinks it is defendable without question. I do question it.
