ReplyDeleteI saw this picture on facebook a few nights ago. It said it was in Hebron when they posted it.
ReplyDelete12:41.. i'd kill it because i would not want it arond here killing animals i own! 12:41..now tell me why someone should not kill it??
ReplyDeletecoyotes have been around for years
ReplyDeleteA friend killed one near pittsville/rt 50 last night, saw a pic message of it, different pic than this
ReplyDeletei think 1:34 just answered your question. Do you kill foxes, hawks, bald eagles and raccoons too? I've seen both a hawk and an eagle swoop down and take animals of mine....

Coyote's are around Delmar in the Melson road area, as I have seen one. They seldom ever harm humans. However, they will pray on domestic animals, but seldom dogs.
ReplyDeleteIf anyone is worried about coyotes on the shore, please feel free to get in your car and head west over the bay bridge. They should not be shot unless in the act of killing livestock. For the most part, they prefer to avoid humans and have plenty of food sources in the wild. It is sad that people feel the need to kill the very animals that make the shore a wonderful place. Coyotes are not a food source such as deer although many hunters are weekend warriors and not a hungry man feeding his family. After buying a gun, atv, hunting license etc, one could buy many years worth of meat.
ReplyDeleteMaryland permits hunting of coyotes year round with no limits. They are not a native species and are not welcome. They take over as the top predator and wreak havoc on local native wildlife. Hunters are encouraged to shoot as many as they can.
ReplyDelete555pm. You took the words right out of my mouth.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking that this looks more like a wolf hybrid. Look how clean that coyote/wolf is.......that's the cleanest wild animal I've ever seen, good weight ......I am leaning toward this was someone's pet, who got loose......
ReplyDeleteThe coyote was brought into the eastern shore by our department of natural resources. They brought them here to kill the deer of which we have an abundance of here. They are predeters. and will eat your small pets I.e. dogs and cats. They may even eat your small child playing in your backyard.
ReplyDeleteEvery "animal rights" liberal, like 12:41, that says coyotes should be free to roam the Eastern Shore should take a look at this.

Please everyone that thinks they are an expert on wildlife read this: http://www.dnr.state.md.us/mydnr/askanexpert/coyote_issues.asp
ReplyDeleteSpecifically this part;
Public opinion concerning coyotes evolves in a predictable fashion. When they first appear in an area, coyotes are novel and receive a great deal of interest. As population densities and nuisance complaints increase over time, public opinion quickly changes from novel fascination to, "I do not want this animal in my neighborhood."
Unless you are a biologist or an avid outdoorsman don't say something stupid like...
"For the most part, they prefer to avoid humans and have plenty of food sources in the wild. It is sad that people feel the need to kill the very animals that make the shore a wonderful place."
This statement is not intellegent at all! Coyotes are NOT native to the eastern shore of Maryland!
Kill them all!
They are only here cause we removed wovles from the eastern US. When you remove something from an ecosystem something else takes its place.
