Too many humans :(

They going need bigger guard dogs

Happens in the hills of Hollywood also. Consequences of living next to a mountain and not trapping and hunting coyotes because soo controversial. So in the mean time little pets make great snacks.

I hope they go to Salt Lake City and eat the rats. It has become a problem.

Best thing is to increase Coyote's natural food source of mice, rabbits, squirrels, frogs, lizards, fish, racoons if possible and they leave pets alone. stope destroying their food source and habitat

You are right. Those plastic ones aren't to hard to catch. 🙄

Americans are gonna have to give up this “cute, cuddly” tiny dog fetish and go back to real dogs again - dogs that can defend the homestead and fight off predators. Coyotes are here to stay.
