But, the rules of the Villages prohibit people from letting their pets run free or tying them up outside, so, there should not be any problems with coyotes. But, there is. Every dog killed by a coyote, was illegally running free. That means the owner put their dog's life in danger as well as broke the rules of the Villages. If you love your pet, keep it on a short leash and obey the rules.

Exactly. Common sense. This should not even be an issue. Keep your eyes and a leash on your pet!
