Not my fault that I understand how air conditioning works. When the coyotes evolve to the same point I’ll sit down with them & have a discussion
Ridiculously stupid and then some

Let's hope the playing field doesn't get leveled from the other direction. Most coyotes are better suited to survive and thrive outside than we are these days.Not my fault that I understand how air conditioning works.

Funny you say that, on a recent fire (Fork Fire by the Rubicon) four firefighters were attacked while sleeping in a campground, by a coyote, one had to get rabies shots.Let's hope the playing field doesn't get leveled from the other direction.

I'm so touched by all this nature & animal talk that I've decided to invite some animals over for dinner.
I'll take mine medium rare, thank you
Aren't leg traps illegal?
We have a huge coyote population in our neighborhood, we have plenty of open space nearby. I always get the notification from the Nextdoor App that "there's a coyote on the loose!". Everyone I've seen just wanders on a short distance away because they've become so habituated to the surrounding communities. If you're pet gets attacked or killed, well, unfortunately that is on you. If you're worried about a nuisance coyote, try some hazing. Chances are you'll run it off easily and you can continue your golf game.

OP
I spent a very large majority of my life killing shit for the sake of killing shit, deer, vermin, coyotes, prairie dogs, squirrels, fish etc. At some point a switch flipped and I don't like to kill anything if it is avoidable. I decimate the local ground squirrel population given any opportunity but I feed the local rabbits grain and wheat grass that I grow for them.
We have coyotes, possums, raccoons, and similar and I much prefer to co-exist since we are in their natural habitat. I don't poison the rodents since we have a fair number of owls and various size raptors that suffer greatly if they consume them.
My biggest challenge is getting the neighbors to understand that small pets are tasty snacks for the local predators.
Maybe you are. Wouldn't the invited animals appreciate having dinner?
It is said it was the cat that really domesticated humans. Not the other way around.
Reminds me of this scene.
“Easy, you don’t lead them as much!”

Quite the opposite.
I believe your rose colored lenses have you confused once more.
There’s a reason coyotes are legal to hunt 24 hours a day 365 days a year anywhere it is legal to hunt or you have permission no hunting license required, in Nevada at least. They are far from being endangered, the population is exploding according to fish and game and if not controlled will kill off the surrounding small game seriously impacting food sources for the other apex predators, eventually when the food is gone their own population will decline but it takes an area a long time to recover.
This is really about a low bid contractor with a delusional cowboy complex dropped on his head as a child in desperate need for the lesson he’s soon to receive.
