we are suburban - I spose. No farms within miles. Although we DO have a HUGE country club next door in Illinois. And a "greenway". A stinking trail that crosses to Indiana and hooks up to another overbushy trail that the yotes LOVE. There are so many pets to eat along the way... I am more than upset. I am on the warpath to get these "healthy" trails cleaned up so we can at least see the predators! Seems they have more rights to healthy walks, than us. If it were MY pet - I would be given some type of ticket and my dog would be in quarantine. Coyotes mixed with wolves? Nope. Free to eat whoever they desire.
Chicago had TWO bites. Two days ago. One was a child in lincoln park zoo -- it was the child's fault for surprising the vicious animal.
The man that was attacked from behind? well, he had no witnesses so maybe it wasn't a coyote. The last count for Chicago was 2000 yotes in 2014. Any guesses how high those numbers are now? Why are they so protected when there are so many of them?? ug. very unhappy
