Coyotes “victimize” suburbanites
March 24, 2008 |
“I feel terrible for the people who have been victimized,” Mayor Peggy Dunn said.
Mayor Dunn uttered those words in response to reports of coyotes feeding on dogs and cats in southern Johnson County, KS. It just makes me ask WTF? These people willingly moved into an area on the interface between wild and urban. They built their McMansions on land that had been coyote habit for thousands of years. And now they think they have a right to be upset that the animals are just going about their normal business?

Don’t forget that they’re leaving their dogs out in the back yard, chained up or behind an invisible fence (keeps the dogs in, but not predators out) because many of the housing associations don’t allow for privacy fences. Then blaming the coyotes? Yeah, WTF is probably the best descriptor.
Coyotes don’t “victimize” - they act LIKE COYOTES.
Want to protect your pets? Move out of the exurbs, and stop this idiotic urban sprawl.
I love how they are just flabbergasted…reminds me of those people who go swimming with dolphins because they’re “really nice” animals and then they die from blunt force trauma to their chest from a ramming dolphin head. Wild animals will do what wild animals do…be wild.
Darn that nature always getting in our way of being self-centered!
Good post Blogkc.
Those people have lost their priorities and their perspective.
Lost their priorities and perspective? THEY’RE IDIOTS! Dear God: If You are reading this, can you please obliterate Kansas off the map? If You do, I promise I will go to church every Sunday and will never ask for anything else. Thanks, God.
A similar thing happened when I was living in Colorado Springs. Homes built near the mountain basin were having “unwelcome guests” in their yards…except these weren’t coyotes, they were BEARS.
Newsflash Tim:
This kind of lunacy doesn’t just happen in Kansas. My guess is there are plenty of Northlanders and Missourians who live down south who have the same issues.
Maybe you could pray for their obliteration too.
The Kansans seem especially proud of the mess they’ve created, and the most perplexed at the coyote situation. So they win the “Stupidity” contest. So, I say get rid of them. God says He’s gonna consider the others but hinted it may not be “too late” for them…
Thank you!!!! Someone with some sense. The deer and coyote were there first, and we have the nerve to be upset because they won’t just go away and find somewhere else to live.
Title should read Suburbanites VICTIMIZE Coyotes!
What a joke!
These individuals need to realize that nature was there long before their ‘$50 billion’ houses and pets that receive manicures and pedicures.
Are you people serious? Yes, wild animals will undoubedly do what they do, which will cause people to do what they have done to wild animals for the entire history of our once-great nation - trap, shoot, eat, or make little hats with wild-animal tails to keep our ears warm. Go find yourselves a life.
