If that is true then we should start blasting Celine Dion from speakers all over town.
No wait. Then we would have to listen to her too. Cancel my last

This has me rethinking my aversion to the term citiots.

The coyotes are submitting a class action complaint to the AB Human Rights Commission for cruel and unusual treatment.

I saw "the volunteer patrol" out in my neighborhood. I kind of chuckled as I slowly drove by while they were having their (what I assume was) the "meeting and planning" gathering before they went out with their scary ribboned tennis balls.
Saw a coyote later that same evening trotting along the same path they were on having their pre-hazing meeting a few hours earlier at. Literally 10-15 yards away from where they parked.
Deductive reasoning tells me, whatever they did that afternoon was a complete waste of time, except for maybe the exercise a few of those people may have gotten.

I honestly hoped you were going to say it had a tennis ball in its mouth

How about a high powered slingshot with a lacrosse ball? Anyone game to try that?

Its the mentality of figuring out a way to deal with the problem but in a way that no one or nothing gets hurt or offended or doesnt jeopardize millions of children in a playground 5 blocks away keeping in mind there are "coyote support groups" advocating for homeless coyotes....
Until their cat gets eaten........then it becomes the fault of bylaw officers and park rangers and every conservative that ever lived and Trump

The radical in me says we have the same problem when it comes to unwanted pets. Nobody wants to face the fact that the only solution is lethal. We've become a real wimpy society.

All I want to know is who's umpiring these matches.
Coyotes 40 - Doofus's love. Game, set, match, Coyotes.
Pretty sure I could handle a weighted tennis ball in the junk if it was thrown by one of these old yote lovers. Coyotes are likely having the time of their lives now that they've got someone to play fetch with.
Wonder if they'll try dropping sponge anvils out of trees next or painting tunnels on trees next?

When I was about 8 my grandmother shot a coyote by the chicken coup with a cooey .22 like swatting a fly to her.
Times have changed for sure

At least employ the scientific method. Haze them with a paintball gun (blue and green paintballs). That way you'll know if you have any repeat customers. I for one, would volunteer for that!
About 15 years ago a friend of ours who works for parks got to do this with sheep on the 40 who were hanging out on the highway licking salt and he said it worked like a charm, until they got complaints from tourists...
