In response to Mr. Bolotin’s letter: Nobody asked for the killing coyotes. I own about three acres of woods which I leave for coyotes, raccoons, deer and other animals who want to live there. So sharing isn’t the problem here.

Mrs. Powers’ cat was in her backyard and my cat was on my deck when they were killed. A few days ago I found the remains of another cat very close to my house.

This coyote doesn’t seem to be afraid of people at all anymore. I have never observed this behavior from the coyotes on my property or in the neighborhood, and I had plenty of opportunity in the 10 years I live here.

I think it’s great if people care for wild animals but some reason and common sense should be in order.

Why would it be so bad to relocate a few coyotes to a place with no population, like a national park?

And I’m sure most pet owners are very well aware of their responsibilities.
