Folks, it makes absolutely no difference whether or not if the traps mutilate the coyotes or not. Trapped coyotes ARE NOT going to be turned loose in an unpopulated area. They will be killed!
As I stated before, if, on my walks, I happen to see a coyote trap, I am going to destroy the trap. If I cannot destroy it, I will spring it and throw it in a dumpster.
Sure, it is sad that ONE dog got snatched by a coyote but the dog was outside off a leash! Keep your dogs on a short leash, use common sense, and you will have no problem.
The Pringles shakers are a great idea. Common sense prevails!
