Regarding Coyotes

Regarding Coyotes:
People really need to understand a few things regarding these, and ALL, of Natures "Wild Species" -
1) Coyotes do NOT kill for fun - they kill for food
2) Coyotes, Raccoons, Bobcats, Mountain Lions, Skunks, etc., are Nocturnal (night time) species. Should one choose to slap yourself on the literal breakfast or dinner plate at dawn or dusk - is your OWN CHOICE.
3) These animals were here first, and were, and are, the complete "Circle of Life".
Left in balance, "life" wouldn't need garbage cans, fast food stores, and on, and on. The ancients did such. (Oh, but you say we are now civilized?)…..
4) Since the "Circle of Life" has been broken with "man thinking they own and rule all" - no-one stops to realize what detrimental disasters the underground species can do.
Gophers especially have tunnel systems up to 2 miles+. These tunnels, once wet, can sink houses, and city's.
Since "man" want to "kill all predators such as the animals mentioned above - (and I am being sarcastic here) the intelligence of man is to poison gophers…….
What species eat gophers? Cranes, Hawks, Owls -
Do you, who wish to kill the coyotes wish to kill all of these species as well?
Would you rather hear a rock crusher, bulldozers, jack hammers, and heavy machinery outside your homes in the early morning hours, or the call of a coyote calling to its mate in their den? Or foxes doing the same… This is why you hear them. Coyotes mate for life - when the male is out hunting for family food, the male and female communicate through their form of speaking - 'howls'. Same as fowls.
Owls, Geese also mate for life, as well as several other animal species that "man" considers a nuisance.

If mankind cannot accept the fact that the Half Moon Bay, aka, Spanish Town, aka, Sequoia, was, and will always be of the native species.
Because you have bought your fancy houses, and have money - is your life more important than the life of Natures Creatures who have no need for money, greed, houses, nor us.
Learn to understand the native species, and learn to coexist on THEIR land - in Peace.
