When they are done decimating the small game in the area, then they will begin to prey on the domestic variety ... Small dogs , cats , chickens , rabbits , lambs , calves ect...

Decimated? Let's see some examples.
I say fiddlesticks.
Cars and trucks do more damage to the small game in an urban area than that coyote pup ever will.
Of course they might go after a domestic pet or two but is that really an epidemic?
I hunt coyotes in NEO during the Winter months, I don't have a problem shooting them where it's needed.
I have access to a large tract of private land(family) for hunting, but guess what?, my rancher relatives actually like the coyotes and they are NOT to be shot on their property by anyone. They do take one out from time to time if they come down and pester the domestic pets but it's not really a big issue.
In 35 years they have lost three calves total to predation.
I hunt predators on a regular basis druing the Winter months so you can't write me off as a bunny/wolf/yote'/cougar hugger.
It just bugs me to no end when someone like Herring Impaired puts a pic up of a coyote in an urban area and the best he gets for a cool picture is "kill it".
Kill it!
The time I spent away from NEO living on the Westside taught me to appreciate seeing wild critters surviving in yuppieville.
I'm hoping to whack a few coyotes this weekend but I'm also cheering for that little guy at Salmon Creek.
Go dude!
