…. I stand with Wiley Garrett … he was sarcastically agreeing with osky’s comment

I thought one of the jobs of Govt was to keep the people safe?
The young kid and whole bunch of others that have been attacked had to pay the price for dumb politicians.

Wasn’t long ago and an otter attacked a kid in Washington.

Cost the port $350 thousand from what I heard. About time Washington trappers try and get trapping rights back.

Forrest?

Ya right.

People who were all for this didn’t care about the consequences. They can’t see that what they consider a victory is actually a defeat. Every thing loses in the long run.

you know when people complain about bear hunting with dogs , I tell them they are doing you all a great service in training the bears every year to avoid people and dogs. when you take that training away they slowly learn they can come into your yard with nothing to fear.

Trapping and hunting coyotes seems a similar thing.

Any time Man stops being the top predator , mans kids , women and the smaller and weaker of mankind moves down a peg to prey.

fits right in line with. The worst thing you can do is not manage wildlife!

It isn't only coyotes that are getting close 2 recent human / cougar encounters but WA doesn't have a predator problem

Dad should have pulled out his 44 dirty harry magnum and applied the castle doctrine to that mangey mutt.
He must be a new American.

Because the EXPERTS have told everyone that coyotes just cull the weak , diseased or crippled , heard , wildlife or anything , their reasoning not mine.
those are the type of lies they were using to push the anti trapping agenda.
that there could be no issues because this was their ground fact

so if you use their logic the kid must have been diseased , weak or unhealthy


it's all fun and games till your junk science falls apart isn't it.

Still should not have allowed her to get near a strange dog or any animal

There have probably been idiots feeding them, too. This is a learned behavior.

Wolves in northern MN is a prime example. Since they are protected from hunting or trapping it's almost like they have become domesticated. They come right into people's yards and attack their livestock and even pets.
