> we should just kill all coyotes

At least relocate them out of cities. Why would you ever want a predator that large living inside a city?

Let a dog, a domesticated animal that we trust to live in our homes with our children and babies, off-leash in a city and people lose their minds. But coyotes move in and everyone's chill? Wtf

A lot of cities have stray dogs roaming around
>> At least relocate them out of cities.

Ah yes, make it someone else's costly problem and let me feel good about myself because it's such a humane solution.

> make it someone else's costly problem

Move them to a national forest and they'll be the local wildlife's problem.

> let me feel good about myself because it's such a humane solution

Yeah actually because it is humane and I do feel good about myself.

Where I live you can shoot coyotes in any season with a hunting permit. That's chill? OK then, let's be chill about off-leash dogs and apply the same rules to them.
That's not what the story is about. But you sound like you want to shoot dogs.
Do I?

You sound like you think it's OK to let your dog run off-leash.

My suggestion was relocating the coyotes, not shooting them. I'm ok applying that rule to off-leash dogs and in fact, that's what happens. They're trapped and taken to a shelter for the owner to reclaim. They're eventually put down if unclaimed.

You suggested shooting dogs. Seek help.

Where do we relocate the off-leash dogs to? This interests me.

We catch a dog off-leash in a park and the dog gets relocated to...where?

I updated my comment because I figured a troll like yourself would ask. And I was right.
Are off-leash dogs in your part of the world a consistent threat to your safety, or an annoyance? There's obvious recourse since dogs have owners, but maybe you should shoot them too?

Killed people here, yeah. What's the recourse when a pit bull kills you, skeeter2020? Can you tell me that? When you're dead from a pit bull attack, what's your recourse?

I'm really interested in the answer.
