Coyotes!?

I NEVER said they were bad. I NEVER said I hated them.
I am afraid for my dogs, just as any mother would be for her child. GOSH. :mad: :(

I don't think a coyote would hurt a dog the size of Simba or Nala. After all, coyotes are dogs too. I wouldn't worry too much. Just take care of them. :p

Now that I know we have a falcon in our area, I'm not taking my birdies outside. Being cautious is the key to safety.

I love coyotes though. Sure I'm scared of them, but I think they're beautiful. They aren't very big. I saw some in a wild animal refuge several months ago. We have some wild ones around here but I've never seen any. I think they stay out of the cities.

Well, I know that most of the coyotes in my area are coy-dogs so they are bigger. Not saying that they would attack a dog Keegan's size but a pack of them might, or might not. Don't know, don't plan on finding out. There have been all sorts of stories and rumors that fly about them. I saw one that was hit on the highway last spring and it was probably at least 60#.

That is exactly the attitude that make species extinct and habitats destroyed, that starts wars, that leads to genocide, lychings and burning crosses. "Don't know nothing about it ... but, by Gawd, I'm scared of it, so it must be bad. Don't wanna learn nothing about it, I'll just keep on hating it and destroy it." Very sad. Facts are what gives you the knowledge and power to stop being afraid, to stop hating. Ignorance is what keeps us afraid.

I'm afraid of coyotes too. Just because I don't know everything about them, doesn't mean I shouldn't have an opinion about them right? I mean, it's human nature to just see something and have an opinion based on what you know. I don't think my fear of coyotes will lead to destroyed habitats or wars anytime soon though..

I wanna know why any thread kfamr starts turns into a debate and people pissing other people off?!!?!?! :rolleyes: :eek: :o:confused: :confused:

I didn't know every thread I start turns out like that! :eek:

Maybe just the ones you read, Lauren. :p

well the photo and florida pet talk meeting threads don't but the rest sure do seem to.

not just pointing it out to you, but to everyone...everyone (usually the same group, but not always) turn the threads into a debate

Like I said, maybe just the ones you read. :p
I've made several others that haven't. alot of threads turn into *bickering* , But, most get easily resolved. :p
