barking out back i ran out and scooped her up just in time to see a flash of something going into my backyard it was the coyote i've been seeing hanging around after it saw me it jumped over the fence into my neighbor's yard i just saw it again crossing the street with an well she thinks that this is a cat that was hanging in the in the coyote's mouth other people are saying it might have been a gray rabbit or something like that but either way you read something like that i bolted upstairs just to put eyes on bingo like bingo should not ever be outdoors very weak for you in that but yeah like i see that and i'm just like so i ran upstairs he's fine he's sitting on the bed upstairs um but when you just but by the way the one that i set fire to the other day um he set fire to it you just let him i just let him i just gave him the idea of lighting his farts on fire and he couldn't he's like i gotta try this i gotta try this So anyway, he's fine. Sorry, Billy Joel. We did start the fire. That's right. That's what he said. Anyway, so I was, you know, like this is really upsetting. The idea, especially if it was a cat, like that's really, really upsetting. And so basically some people are weighing in saying there's not a lot we can do. We've reported this before. And then somebody else weighed in, and this is a long email. I won't read it verbatim. I mean, I don't know if I should be reading any of this, honestly, publicly. But it says, I'm so sorry to hear this. They are getting more aggressive. A couple of people's dogs were bitten by coyotes in the cemetery. It says hazing is no longer working. I don't know what that means. Does that mean you sort of like... You make the coyotes drink an insane amount of alcohol and then do push-ups. It's pretty dark, yeah. And you shave their heads and you make them stand in shaving cream. It's all shaving related for me. Anyway, this person is frustrated. It says, I've spoken more than once with the people who run the cemetery. They just passed the buck to Fish and Wildlife. Fish and wildlife say we just have to coexist with them. Like, basically, nobody's doing anything about this, but the population just keeps growing and growing. It says that back in the day when this person moved here, there was one coyote known in the cemetery, and it was a cute little thing. And so they have a photo of that one coyote up in, like, the office of the cemetery, according to this email that I'm reading. But that was in 1990. And now, you know, every year it's just more and more and more if they're having, like, you know, four to six pups per litter or whatever. Also, I think our crazy neighbor across the street who I got into that showdown with, there's rumor that he feeds. Dr. Sign Ripper. Yeah, Dr. Sign Ripper also, I think, feeds the coyotes. I've heard rumors about that. He's just like, he's just bad in every way. Like, he's just a neighborhood. The neighborhood, what is the word for some? Crank. Crank and rogue and whatever. But anyway, it is a real problem. It does worry me to think about, like, you know, if we had a dog even in our fenced-in backyard, but you really can't keep the coyotes out. But all of this leads to TNR. This person who's very frustrated who wrote this whole email that I'm quoting from now says, ideally I'd like to see them TNR like they do with feral cats.
