  • Predator Defense Organization
  • An Important Letter about Coyotes from Robert Crabtree
    This letter by one of the leading coyote biologists in the world explains why killing coyotes does not control their population
  • Is Man Supposed to Control Predator Populations?
    No. Man has really screwed up a lot of balances in ecosystems! A predators role is to control prey populations, and that is important so that prey don't over graze land and destroy their own food sources. Predators aren't supposed to control other predators, Nature doesn't work that way. Man has quite an ego and has misunderstood and abused his of "dominion over animals" . No doubt, his "dominion over animals" should be taken away.
  • Did Biologists Release Cougars to Control the Coyote Population?
    No. C'Mon, do you really believe this stuff? A little knowledge of cougar and coyote biology as well as Federal Law will answer this one for you. Cougars have no interest in killing coyotes, and in fact are easily treed by any member of the canine species. Any legitimate (the key word here) cougar sightings are no doubt the occasional released exotic pet.
  • Were Coyotes deliberately released in the Eastern States?
    NO. Some people actually believe that the conservation agencies stocked coyotes in the Eastern states to control the deer population. We already know that coyotes can not control the deer population and there are more deer and turkey than ever, so why would they have to? Coyotes naturally expanded their range, coming into New England through Maine and New York. they have been around isnce at least the early 1920's. Some scientists believe they have been here all along, since remains have been found in certain archeological finds.
  • Will Coyotes Cause Prey Species to Become Extinct?
    NO. A smart predator would NEVER kill all his prey. Coyotes are a smart predator and have never been ersponsible for killing oof a species. Man however, is a different story. Since Man has walked the earth, they have directly caused the extinction and extirpation of millions of species of plants and animals.
  • Do Coyotes Kill Domestic Cats and Dogs?
    Sure. So do cars, diseases, neighbors guns, owls, domestic dogs, poisons, traps, snares and over crowded shelters. If you allow your cats and dogs to roam freely something bad IS going to happen to them. Dogs and Cats kill plenty of wildlife on their own too. It is easy to blame the coyotes when your pet comes up missing, but face the facts here. Keep your animals near you and in the home and they will live a long healthy life.
  • Do Coyotes Control Deer Populations?
    Not according to Deer Biologists. Ken Koerth, noted deer biologist is quoted in Whitetail Magazine as saying that "coyotes normally can't control deer populations on their own". Many deer hunters are disappointed when they return home empty handed and find it easier to blame coyotes than themselves. Ask the home owners in the suburbs if there are not enough deer... Ask the Auto Insurance Agents what they think too...
  • What are the Coyote Bite and Death Statistics
    Did you know that there are only two human deaths attributed to a coyote attack in recorded history? The latest death of a young musician is still being investigated. Compare to the 15 - 20 deaths per year attributed to domestic dog attacks. Coyote bites that require hospitalization are extremely rare and of course, newsworth because of their rarity. Compare this to the roughly 1,000 domestic dog bites per day treated in USA emergency rooms! Coyote attacks are clearly not a realistic threat- but domestic dog attacks ARE. Nearly all coyote attacks can be attributed to humans feeding coyotes, either knowlingly, or through carelessness. Don't feed the coyotes.
  • Do Coyotes Decrease Turkey Populations?
    NO. Disease can wipe out an entire flock of birds. Coyotes prey on the slowest, weakest birds. It is these birds that are likely coming down with a virus that could potentially wipe out the entire flock. Studies show that the Wild Turkey Population in New England is larger and stronger than ever - Thanks to coyotes!
  • Does Killing Coyotes Control Their Population?
    FACT: NO! Did you know that when coyotes are killed it stimulates population growth through larger litters, stronger pups and more breeding females in an area? The only thing that controls the population of coyotes is the amount of available prey. Hunting and trapping causes MORE coyotes the following year!

I don't see what the problem is. Coyotes are killed IN THE SAME FASHION naturally by wolves. You can youtube videos of wolf packs ripping apart coyotes.

COMMENT BY EASTERN COYOTE INSTITUTE: Yes, in nature, occasiona;lly coyotes are killed by wolves who share the same territory. the reason for this is because their young will compete for the same food source, and they want to make sure there will be enough food for their own young. Its a species survival thing. They don't use motorized vehicles, guns, and teams of dogs with gps tracking collars though, and the coyotes have a fair chance. It is natures way when the wolves are doing it, just like it is natures way when coyotes are taking small game and wolves are taking game as well. Men need to find a more constructive hobby than killing for fun. Its a bloodsport, plain and simple with men.

Karen

This makes me sick !!!!Things like this make me literally hate a person enjoying such torture. The day this world ends, so will animal abuse. All of god's creatures deserve to breathe and live. To hurt something in this manner is non-human. People who do this should die a horrible death themselves.

Chris klein

Those that post comments do not know.You find a bad apple and accuse all hunters of doing it that way.If I say a black man raped and murdered a white women are black people bad NO....... So a couple bad apples do not speak for all hound and dog hunters. Think for yourselves people do not be brought into a lair of lies told to you. If you have anything to say go to a hunter safety course go to a fish and game warden let them speak to and let them tell you why good people hunt and fish. There is a reason it is legal.People like this hunter up top make us all look bad. Just like we all have family member that maybe we are not so proud of .You make the family look bad...come on open your eyes to twist and lies of some of these organizations. I do hunt with hounds and proud of it..It is my right and with gods help I will continue to do so...

as a farm owner i am fighting a battle from the bergining of bow season until the end of march when coyote season ends but the worst is coyote hunting. i have chased these so called sportsmen down the road to get plate numbers taken their pictures and repeatedly call the DEC officeres, in return i have had my horses run through fences (1200.00 in vets bills) have had my horses let out at night my farm equipment vandalized and am under continual harassment where are the rights of property owners? these so called sportsmen are Not kids they are from their 20"s to 75 most own only a house and lot and think they have the right to run their dogs over everyne elses property to avoid trespassing themselves on posted land the shoot from the road they are renegade hunters and we need laws to protect us from them

J.T.Howard

Hmmm, I wonder what kind of responses a video showing a pack of coyotes tearing up a deer would get ??

*Note from Coyote Institute:Probably many- but only from the hunters who are telling everyone that THEY must go out and "control" the deer population because otherwise the deer will starve to death. People who understand how nature works, and understand the predator prey/ relationship would find such a video very interesting, no doubt, and so would we, but despite our numerous requests, you still have not sent us this video.

Sarah

I found this site today while looking up info on coyotes and I have to say ... these videos are one of the most disturbing clips I have ever seen. Why on earth would anyone, even hunters, but those animals through so much terror and pain in their last moments. I am absolutely horrified and speechless. These people are truly disgusting.

mamie mcdonald

What if you had to go home with one of these evil so called hunters.

Sarah

This is absolutely disgusting. I can barely see the keyboard to type due to the tears in my eyes from watching this. These people have no morals or ethics. This is not sportsmanship. It is a bunch of lazy sloppy hillbillies making themselves feel superior through cruelty.

Take a look at the verbal abuse. Anyone who doesn't support coyote pens is harassed, there have even been physical abuse/death threats.

Russ

This coyote should have been put down immediately.

Marcel

These are not ethical kills... As one wanting to hunt coyotes, if this is what it leads to, I'll stick with target shooting...
As an avid dog breeder for many years, I'd be leary allowing these hunting dogs around my grandkids. As a group, they're no better than a bunch of coyotes but a coyote does it for food to live. These dogs are doing for the blood sport with owners laughing and encouraging it... The hunters laughter and inability to understand animal suffering is what bothers me.

I'm sure they shoot the coyote to just render it unable to run and then the beasty boys pound on it...

I have to say that if I ever encounter such a scene, I will shoot the coyote right away to end its misery immediately..

I don't want my kids or grandkids thinking I approve of this type of hunting...

joe greco

hunting yotes with dogs is wrong. I call and do fine, these cowards have to use dogs. I am against it.
