SophieKate's Mom- I imagine that that was very sad. I'm sure that was a very difficult decision for you, both as an animal lover and pet owner. I, myself am slightly torn on the issue..
Humans have developed so much of the coyotes' and other predators' natural habitat. It is completely understandable that they must seek out their food elsewhere.
Coyotes do have a place in our ecosystem, however, what's even more sad is the idea that someone could lose their precious pet to one.
Always keep your pets on leashes. I have different types for mine- 5' long leashes and the 10' retractable. I'm finding it very rare that I'm using the retractable-it is just not worth not keeping my babies close.
