Feel no guilt for doing what is necessary to protect you and yours from a predator undergoing a population explosion nationwide. Here on the east coast 15 years ago there were few yotes around or only in remote areas of the Adirondacks and Catskill mountains , Now they are being caught in Manhattan. It is only a matter of time before there will be more occasions where we will see attacks on humans as hunger and population pressures move them int more suburban and even urban areas. As a species Coyotes are very adaptable and anything that is small enough or weak enough to be attacked and taken down by them will be on their dinner menu. ABSOLUTELY!! One additional point Turkeys... They have been re stocked years ago and in most places FLOURISHING... The #1 food for yotes in these areas is Turkeys and there young polts!!Back in the '70's we had none or nearly none here in CT, today they are everywhere even in close to the citys. The Coyotes are there too and in big numbers!Just like you might remove the weeds form your lawn you remove the predators that may do what they do. Done for the same reasons... we dont want them there!CW
