I agree that coyote and other wild animals are just doing what comes naturally but we forget that we used to hunt them for our own food. Since we no longer do that how are we taking our responsibilities seriously considering our "rung of the food chain"? No species was here first - all species just continue to expand into common territory. With the larger number of offspring the population growth of coyote will continue to surpass the growth of others. At some point we will be forced to address this. I no longer see possum or rabbits around my house anymore. Both serve more purpose on this earth than just as feed to coyote.
