How tragic for those who lost dogs to these creatures. I know it can happen, it just hasnt happened here.

Since you live in a wildlife conservation area, the coyotes are able to find food.
The problem in the US is that we have encroached on the natural habitats of our wild animals. We have made it more and more difficult for them to find food since houses now fill the areas where they previously hunted.
Coyotes used to stay away from man. Now they are living side by side with us in residential areas and have become quite comfortable hunting for food very close to our homes.
