Coyotes got my neighbour's dog

- Start date
I had a neighbour who lost 5 cats and a dog to coyotes. He asked me and another neighbour to shoot any coyotes on his property. (500 acre farm, 300 acres of trees)
Since my other neigbour owned similar property on both sides of me, we were only too happy to do so. After a few, they took off and never came out on open land near us again. The only place we saw sign was in the woods after that.

In India they used to tether out live goats to bait tigers. In Ontario apparently a beagle can do the same for yotes. Pets left outside get eaten in rural Alberta on a regular basis. My two outside cats have lasted 8 months. That's a long time.
My Lab is worth many thousands of dollars after all the training and medical care he's gotten over the years. He sleeps in the bedroom. I'll let the yowls of dying cat alert me to marauding yotes.

German Shepherd is an emotional breed. My dog always accusing me of not sharing food with her. One will be shocked by the richness of her vocabulary. Besides, she is even get scared of a cuti cat or a flying plastic bag, which was not there before.
The future plan is to get at least one more, but have to a male. I feel that female GSD is not balanced enough with a too small sized head (mine weights 78 lbs and still looks like a puppy).

I'm certainly with you on this!!
Some of you guys are pretty funny. People have been keeping dogs tied up on rural properties for decades with no issues. If you have a coyote problem then it can obviously become one, but other then that get real. I bet if I went through old posts talking about dogs at large I'd find the same people #####ing about owners letting them get loose as are #####ing about them being tied up.
When we moved to the farm we would hear and see the odd coyote, we left it alone but by summer of 2008 we started to hear and see them on a regular basis. By early snow fall we strated to see tracks within 100 feet of the farm house and the out buildings...we shot five throughout the following winter and this year things are back to normal. We still see the odd one but since we re-instated the fear of man they seem to be keeping there distance. The hides were tanned and sold at fur auction this past fall. LL

Last summer I was living in rural Nova Scotia, on Highway 7. The neighbours were a bit of a rough lot; several dogs, including a Rottweiler/Akita cross that had fun crossing onto the property we were renting and digging up our garden, barking at me when I was out practicing archery. (Always kept a broadhead in the ground next to me, that was a mean dog). In addition to the mutt, they also have four/five beagles.
By Jesus, those things howled. All night long. The two properties backed onto a large parcel of wooded crown land with several good watering spots for wildlife. As close as I can figure it, any deer, coyote or anything that came within half a mile of the place set them to baying, tied up as they were.
One night I guess one of them was staked alone, or at least father away from his buddies, because the next morning, when I was walking my own dog back to the crown lands, I walked by a bloodied rope - found the pooch, or what was left of it, just inside the treeline. Yote got it.
Did my neighbourly duty and told the fellow next door what happened. He was pissed, but not really surprised (or caring, dude was a jerk).
Next night, when Im headed in before dark, I see there's one beagle, all alone, staked in the middle of the back yard and looking less than happy to be there. And Mr. Neighbour is up on his roof with a crossbow. I turned a blind eye; he did the same for me when I was out simply practicing with my compound - but that night, around 10, the beagle starts up. A minute later - twang.
Got up the next morning for the dogwalk, passed the beagle, looking ok. Got to the treeline and it was like deja vu - dead dog, except this time it was a yote, not twenty feet from where I found the beagle the day before - with my neighbour's crossbow bolt hung up in its shoulder. I dont know how the thing managed to make the treeline (maybe 200 yards). On the way back I told him where to find his bolt and pelt if he wanted it - after that, no more dead beagles, though the goddamned things still howled every night.

Ya going to jail for your dog so your kid can grow up without you seems like a great idea.
I dunno, a dog is a dog, but I will NEVER refer to a pet as my child like so many do. But then I don't have the same kind of attachment to pets as some do.
I hate to say it, but to me this is one step away from the peta mentality. As much as I like dogs they will never be people.

Yes and no.
It has been shown that people who are capable of cruelty to animals are also far more likely to be violent or abusive to people - in other words, they have mental problems.
So if someone is abusive to their animals/pets, I feel that they are worthy of my disdain. I will also report them.

If someone threatens a family member, I am not going to start thinking about potential consequences: I will protect them to the best of my ability. Believe me, once the adrenaline kicks in ........ I have been there. Fortunately, my reaction to a perceived threat to my wife was obvious, and the person who acted threateningly took one look at me, and left quickly.
