Cats and Coyotes

[Terrierman]

As much as I dislike useless killing, coyotes, skunks and armadillos do not fall under my protection.

The mangy coyote can be cured with 3 cc of ivomectin, the mange of itself is not a reason to remove it from the population.

I also don't spend a second of time thinking about how to cure one of mange.

In the video the idiot said mange was reason to remove the coyote from the population as though it was a communicable incurable disease that threatened  the rest of the coyote population, it is in fact not a disease at all but  a parasitic mite. The ivomectin will also cure the canine's worms and keep the ticks off for two or three months.

The best reason to remove the coyote is because it is a coyote, and we just don't like coyotes or other predators because they are, in our "tribal memories", competitors for food.   We also like dead predators better than live ones because their fur made warm clothing for our ancestors, in the olden days when was still legally and socially  acceptable to wear clothing not made from fossil fuels.

I like alive animals better than dead ones. Doesn’t matter what it is. Dead ones make horrible subjects for a photograph.

Live predators make horrible coats and unsatisfactory playthings for toddlers.
