Not that I want to kill coyotes...I hate the killing of any animal.

Maven, I live out in the boonies. Many of my neighbors raise cattle. They have all gotten donkeys to deal with the coyotes. We have a horrible problem with coyotes in this area. I don't allow my cats outside because of the coyotes and packs of roaming dogs. I don't worry about the horse because they are big boys, no way a coyote could take one of them down. I also don't worry about my dogs because Ivan, the Rottie, can hold his own. Al, the Lab, killed a coyote last fall. Beats me how he did it. Al is about eleven zillion years old, half deaf, stove up with arthritis and senile. In spite of that he killed a coyote!
