I found this article about coyotes killing pets in CO and wondered what kind of legal problems we would have in the Villages with solving this problem?
Hello Taltarzac,

In the active-adult community in Arizona where I once lived more residents than not wanted the Arizona Game and Fish Department to "do something" about the coyotes in and around the development. It turned out to be a [B]BIG [/B]MISTAKE!. After capturing (or maiming and then destroying) the animals and relocating the ones that survived, the community was overrun, and I mean really really overrun, with rabbits. They were everywhere and ate every flower garden in sight. Birds, geese, and other critters made the golf courses their nature latrines.
If people would not place food out and also keep watch over their small dogs and cats, the coyotes move on and a small number remain to keep the eco in balance.
