This is true. They have no predator of their own to keep them in check and the reproduce pretty steadily as well.

They don't reproduce if ya' clip their chords.

And, if you let them back out once they're fixed, they're likely to start (or continue?) killing the kittens in their territory that they run across. So they do the euthanizing for you. 'Save' one old cat, and 10 kittens die. That's a win win, right?

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.


Yeah, that's not accurate at all. Coyotes have, for centuries, been drawn to urban environments. All the way back to the Aztecs in fact. Obviously ancient Aztec society was not as urban as LA or NYC, but they were drawn to the human settlements.

Coyotes thrive in just about every habitat in North America.
