No, but you said, "The state is too cheap and lazy to slow their growth down."
And I pointed out that the state has declared year around open season on shooting or trapping coyotes, either day or night, which is rather extreme.
Your post implied that spending more money or making a greater effort would be effective in "slowing their growth down."
The state cites studies that show that
efforts to remove coyotes from a particular area results in coyotes having larger litters of pups to fill the void.
So, I suggest that the state is not being "cheap" or "lazy" in the matter of coyotes; just realistic.
When the coyote population in the area of The Villages gets to the point that available prey diminishes, so will the coyote population.
In the meantime, free roaming pets are at risk.
