How to happily coexist with coyotes by HSUS

[vermonster13]

Read this and lets hear what we all think of the Humane Society of the United States ideas.

So instead of keeping the numbers under control with hunting and trapping, keep your pets and children inside and have a hose handy. Anyone else see anything wrong with this?

What a load of bleeding heart animal libber nonsense.
The whole circular argument that when you kill off a bunch of coyotes the remainder breed back up to the same level so you have wasted your time shooting them in the first place is so disingenuous that it plainly shows the lack of solid logic these guys base their arguments on. The talk about control measures like they would be a “one off” and so would be useless as the animals can breed again. We all know that any control program, for any animal, has to be on-going and sustained to take breeding into account. We have the same crap going on over here with feral animals living in the forests. The animal libbers tell the world that shooting is “ineffective” because the shooters can’t eradicate the pests. The neglect to remind people that NO control program, even those utilising EVERY control method available in concert, has ever eradicated ANY feral animal from Australia.

Your libbers are just the same as our libbers, liars who will say and do anything to further their own vision of some sort of natural utopia.

Before long theyd be telling us that its cruel to hose them because they dont like it and rude to yell at them.They some craaaaazy folk there, but unfortunately their word persuades a lot of mental pushovers.

This is the same group (peta) caught killing dogs in the back of a van. Then dumping the dead dogs into a dumpster. Why anybody would believe anything they have to say is beyond me.

[vermonster13]

No, this is the Humane Society which many people get confused with their local shelters. These folks have over $100 million dollars to use to stop hunting. They are a much greater threat than PETA by far.

It would be a reasonable thought, to think that those who support HSUS do so out of laziness; wouldn't it?
 It seems to me that PETA,HSUS,etc....are a bit specist.
 They'd rather have ill and harm come to humans than to hurt a predators feelings!
 Oh wait; humans are predators. Doesn't that make us part of the circle????

I found the best way to exist with yotes is to shoot every one ya see.  I used to have an abuntant supply of rabbits on the land I hunt until about 3 years ago when I started seeing yotes.  Haven't seen a rabbit on that land since.  And the number of foxes are down too. Not sure if that is related to the yotes moving in or not.

Yotes will kill foxes when they can catch them.

As long as the "hose" is chambered for an appropriate cartridge or guage I'm all for it. A properly spined and tipped arrow would also be a good choice given the correct circumstances.

I was born and raised in Wyoming during the aerial hunting. There were bounties on coyotes then and there are again now. The reason is they do millions of dollars in damage to livestock. Every rachers truck in the state contained the prefered coyote rifle. Yet there are as many now as there were forty years ago if not more. Here in Coeur d' Alene I have seen several in town myself and heard of many more. If you want them gone you can take the action recommended by the HSUS and see if they become resourceful enough to overcome the obsticles or you can take the time proven method of eliminationg the more aggressive violators before they pass the behavior on to their young. If I hose a coyote in my back yard I won't be using water. NUFF SAID

Want to see what happens when coyotes aren't hunted? Look at this.

How about this?

Coyote attacks New Jersey toddler in his uncle's back yard. They also suspect the coyote and/or a local pack may be responsible for several missing dogs and cats, and a Yorkshire terrier that was snatched right in front of its owner.

There was an attack,on a 3 yr old boy here in Reno,a few yrs back.Coyote came right up on the peoples deck,to do it too.

I purposely stopped trapping and hunting coyotes around my place, just to thin out the neighborhood cat population...now if the coyotes would just thin out the neighbors I'd live in peace with them.

Yea, these are the same people who think if we very politely go to Iraq and be nice to them they will loose all ideas they have about erasing our nation!
