and if you did your research like you claim you would know coyotes don't really thrive "in the forest" they thrive o n the fringes


What the hell in what I said made you think I claimed to be a coyote expert? I used the coyote reference as an example for how human development forces animal populations to move, didn't realize I had the best darn Jr. park ranger/eagle scout in Southeast LA here to refute me.

I said I know about the theory of wildlife population control/management, I'm not an expert on the lifestyle habits of every species of animals. I actually got a degree in something useful.

Never been a park ranger jr or sr or an eagle scout.... surest sign you have won a debate or discussion is when the other person resorts to name calling and outlandish bashing.....

Sarcasm is clearly foreign to you. I didn't even know a junior park ranger was actually a thing.

You literally called me out for saying coyotes thrive in forests by saying "no they actually thrive on the edge of forests"....imagine yourself having that discussion with someone in a real life conversation and let me know how ridiculous you would feel.

Feel like I'm talking to my nephew when I ask what he's playing on gameboy and he's like "actually, it's a nintendo DS"...whatever, you know what the frick I meant.

Wish i had a trained one to target the 5 or so my neighbor feeds. Frickers poop in my yard despite constant bb assaults. My lab loves to find it & eat it, like crack to him.

Oh yeah? Post your CV...haha.

Why do you think coyotes are becoming more urban problems? It's because near big cities, the rural areas they live in are becoming more residential. So in order to survive, they have to stray into urban populations and communities, where they will inevitably die. No, that coyote didn't get run over by a bulldozer, but had that bulldozer never shown up, it would have stayed in the forest where it belongs.


Coyotes were the wrong hill to die on for this argument.

I used to see rabbits in my hood a couple of times a week, but then the cat women moved in. Only seen one in the last 10 years. I know those cats ate all the baby bunnies. Last laugh - coyotes are now wiping out those feral cats.

Population control. You've released sterile cats that won't produce more cats and actively take resources. It's a long term net win that is twistedly less and more humane at the same time.

Being that it is more humane than outright killing them.

And less by causing other cats and kittens to cut off from resources by keeping more(but non breeding) cats in competition.

Feral cats have decimated wildlife.

Australia - 124 species at risk due to feral cats.

PETA has terrible policies for the environment as they value animals over environment every time.

Wild horses are an example. Our population of wild horses has exploded and we need to take out a large percentage of the population. They are ruining native grasslands that have stood for years. PETA and other animal rights group block every effort to do so.
