I want the 5 min. of my life back that I spent reading the article.

Bunch of idiots. Personally I think their claim of 800,000 coyotes a year being taken is probably low. I also see where they say the price of coyote skins ($65 according to them) means there is no financial basis for taking them. Do the math on that: 800,000 x $65= $52,000,000 a year. That my friends is big business. Now I fully understand that not every coyote being killed has a large prime skin that sells for top money but that is still a pile of loot.

I almost cried when I read this, LOL: While killing a coyote may be fun for the hunter, the death has very real consequences for the remaining population. Coyotes are social mammals, much like humans, and they need each other to live a happy and fulfilling life, and they hurt when someone takes that away. Can something truly be considered “fun” if it hurts someone else?
If there were a species with technology superior to ours, and that species were hunting us as we hunt coyotes, all would consider it an egregious atrocity that must be stopped. So why is it that we allow the indiscriminate slaughter of coyotes to continue?

I was out with hounds on day and a nut case came up to me and feed me this same line. He asked if I felt bad about killing coyotes I just told him no.

Thanks CHC, as that is exactly what it was, LOL! I don't think I need to go back and look at what I posted and if he can't figure it out maybe he needs to read it a few times because everyone else did! Maybe he doesn't know what the LOL means after the "I almost cried" line!

Maybe you didn't read the actual article. Top was quoting one of the things that was said in the article. I've known Top for more than 10 years and I assure you those are not his personal words. Did you miss the part where Top said "I almost cried when I read this, LOL:"
That means what follows was something he read, not what he thinks. Didn't they teach English when you went to school?
