Izz,

I respect although don’t completely support or understand the view you have on the wolf hunting.

May I put a scenario before you that was an actual occurrence here on my eco-farm and ask what would you have done.

I have 75 or so organically raised chickens that are allowed to free-range during the day outside in the sun where can do what chickens love and are designed to do. I sell their eggs to very grateful customers.

A very intelligent coyote started picking off my hens one or two a day. He was doing what coyotes are designed to do and he was very “wiley” and elusive in his daily onslaught of my flock.

He outwitted my dogs. He even ate one of my barn cats . . . my favorite by the way.

He changed his “attack” patterns.

He worked with two female coyotes that would distract so he could move in.

I tried live trapping . . . he sprung the trap and took the bait.

I tried changing the times I let the hens out or not letting them out at all, which is not healthy for the hens.

I tried sitting on a large rock by my pond waiting and knowing that is where he generally would begin his day and stared into his eyes and asked him not to eat my chickens because I would have to resort to deadlier means.

I asked the energy forms and nature beings to convince the coyote to go away.

He did not.

I shot him.
