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.
Dogs kill orders of magnitudes more humans than coyotes. Orders of magnitude more children are killed by dogs than by coyotes.

Chill, dude.

I don't know if we should kill dogs. That's not my call. But at least relocate them out of cities?

Would you ever want a predator as large as a dog living inside a city?

I wouldn't, I'm a cat person.

Cows kill the same order of magnitude humans as dogs. And they don't even live in cities, near people. Time to end cattle farming?

I'm ok with dogs in cities, even if they're predators. They're man's best friend.
