Catching and transferring a coyote 🐺

[@davidrust3169]

I appreciate "Save A Fox" showing the difficult part of their job and reminding people that these are mostly wild animals they are asked to work with. Such a beautiful animal, too! That said, I wish people would understand that no matter how much a coyote looks like a dog ... IT ISN'T! Lovely creatures, though. I'm glad she found a good home!

[@mathiasseider2722]

Don't be fooled, Coyotes are wild and savage

[@allananderson6343]

@@mathiasseider2722 Any animal can be worked with provided those involved have the training and experience necessary. Problem is, most don't, nor do many people have the mentality necessary to live with a wild animal. That being said, I don't promote the widespread bans on keeping these animals, as nature can only be preserved by those who choose to live alongside it. There does, however, need to be a comprehensive licensing system in place, so the animals needs can be accounted for, while preventing the unqualified from handling them.

If you ever run into a few of them in the wild you won't think they're so sweet. The more they're around humans the more aggressive they can be and your puppy or cat would be a tasty morsel. Only people that are trained should handle them as this video shows just how viscous one can be even though it WAS a pet.

[@TheSpoonyFox]

@@sullygaming1137 It varies on the territorial nature of the coyote. More urban ones are more easily agitated because they have smaller territory, usually making them more desperate for meals. It can still happen in the more rural parts, but is much more rare if there's more types of predators around too. If I recall, bobcats are notorious for encroaching on other predators' territories in the southern parts of the US, so they'd likely be more of a problem for you than the coyotes, yeah.

[@jcovers5908]

​@@getin3949 i mean of course.... they're wild animals. and they're created to eat smaller animals. It doesn't mean they shouldn't be loved and their lives shouldn't be protected just because they're not often "pet material". Coyotes most often *shouldn't* be "sweet" to humans or small animals. They're in danger of being killed or starving if they do. It doesn't mean I still don't think they're sweet

[@rockinbabe451]

It is kind of crazy to see how much more dangerous a socialized coyote is. I have watched the captures of the wilds and they just cower in the corner the rescuers walk right up to them but train some of that fear of humans out and that fear becomes anger.

I raised an orphan coyote baby, she arrived before she even opened her eyes. My german shepherds became her "pack" and she slept in my room at night, with me. She grew up to be quite gentle. I never disciplined her though. It had to be her idea, lol. So getting her to do/not do something was a matter of distracting her. I never had any issues of her leaving- she was always free to join the wild packs on our farm. This was 50 years ago, I had a menagerie of animals- but she was always my favorite.

Really puts wildlife into perspective, she was a thirty pound coyote and was able to bounce around with that kinda force, a big wolf could weigh over four times as much.

I've seen animals being sedated before, and I always feel bad for them when the sedative starts to take effect. They are in this strange situation, ready do defend themselves, and suddenly they're getting drowsy and numb... I know it's for their own safety, but I can't help but empathise a bit. Nicely done with the capture! She's such a beautiful animal.

[@getin3949]

Just feels like "good" drugs, doesn't hurt them. Like taking a long awaited nap. No need to empathize.

[@Ernthir]

If you got captured for a reason that is completely unknown to you, would you want to be sedated or experience the whole thing? A difficult question. It's either sleep though it or be angry, scared and confused. I have seen people really hurt themselves because of being in that state, let alone animals. I agree sedation is still kind of sad, because they don't understand what is going on and you are taking their free will and even control over their body. But yeah, with sedation at least you shorten the time spent in confusion and panic.

I have seen a variation on that trap cage in the UK for catching Lions and Tigers at Zoo's and wildlife parks. Once the big cat is inside the end wall slides inwards on rails so it effectively works like a cattle crush and places the animal into a restricted space so the cat cannot turn. That way injecting them, taking blood, mobile x-rays and all sorts of other simple procedures are risk free for the handers and the animal. Something like that would have worked well here. Nice low floor Dodge Ram Van, based upon the popular European Fiat Ducato. Its great having a van that you can stand in and easily step in and out of.

Loved getting to see behind the scenes!!! Please do more videos like this whenever able! Also love that they explained what they were doing and why!

[@Corkfish1]

I wish you could bring her up to some land I have in Maine. The coyotes have done an incredible job of keeping mice and squirrels out of my cabin.

[@APRILtheCowardlyGamer]

Awww you people are angels. Thank you for your love and passion towards these animals.

[@savingmywildlife4996]

I am so glad for the work that you do for these lovely animals!! I love coyotes they are so amazing and get such a bad rap! They are wonderful and I am glad Piper has found a good home with a friend to boot!!🤎🐺🤎

[@potterma63]

So awesome caring for these wonderful creatures. Thank you for all you do! You guys rock!

[@flowerchild7820]

She has a wonderful life with you guys caring for her. Thank you 😊

It sucks that they can't film Dakota anymore. Would've been really cool to see him with Piper.

[@darkiee69]

He doesn't like other coyotes.

[@xBloodxFangx]

Why cant they?

[@darkiee69]

@@xBloodxFangx Mikayla got threats from one of the neighbors that they were going to kill Dakota.

@@darkiee69 Thats horrible....

[@Boethion]

@@darkiee69 Are there really no laws against idiots like that? I'm pretty sure that would be trespassing and destroying of private property since she owns Dakota. And while I'm not American myself, from everything I have heard she might also have the right to shoot the fuck if he tried.

Wow this was a really interesting video to watch! You guys do such amazing work with these animals, plus listing to all the banter between everyone in the van I kept listening all the way through because it was so captivating.

[@jeannenora6113]

This was so amazing to watch, I hope Piper has a wonderful, healthy and fulfilled life💝💘🥰

[@mariannekoenders1993]

Bless you all for helping this pretty Girl❤️❤️

[@LyricRhapsody]

Thank you guys for all you do for these animals in need.

The cage needs to be designed with "Squeeze Cute" design, with the back wall able to moved forward to eliminate the animal's range of movement. Obviously the moveable end must have some tin shields to protect the persons hands as they push the tracked wall forward. With 4 barn door style track his could be an easy retro fit and using large wing nuts on the tracks would make the removeable when Not dealing with problem children like Piper.

[@junpi8562]

If Dakota has left Save A Fox, could you give us an update on how he is? Not location or anything if you're still upset by the threats, but it would be good to know he's doing well x

[@naran3337]

He is indeed doing well. In case you didn’t know he was recently seen last year during Christmas when they did that toy car video (He appears in the last scene at night)

[@alicelund147]

What treats?

[@naran3337]

Alice Lund last year ago someone online made threats that if the channel ever posted Dakota again they would hunt him down.

[@Boethion]

@@naran3337 I know its not nice to say, but fuck that person. If they actually went and shot at him he would go straight to jail for trespassing and destroying private property because I'm pretty sure Dakota is Mikaylas privat pet for all intends and purposes.

[@amaterasuwolfy5798]

@@naran3337 they can try. Saveafox has a freakin army

[@DuaneJacobs]

It is unjust that she was used as a pet. A wild animal like Coyotes be long in the wild and not kept as pets. She is such a good girl.

“Ready Piper?” Piper: 👁👁 4:40

[@Arelenedhel]

She’s beautiful! I hope she enjoys her new home! I’d love to see more of this kind of work.

[@mariewintzer2245]

She's so beautiful and her eyes say it all. Thank you for saving her!

[@JustJay1281]

It's really good that originations like save a fox and wildlife science center work closely together.
