This killing of our predators is nothing but cruelty and it upsets the balance of nature. Ranchers seldom do anything to protect their livestock but instead kill a predator or have it killed . This is another unnecessary use of our tax-dollars as well.

We need our predators to keep our herd animals strong. We have the ability to do balanced wildlife management. There are advances and there are set backs. Politics has no place where science is needed. mar

I will never understand why man feels he has to control/manage everything. When man fudges up the balance of nature that’s when the problems start. We NEED predators, to keep the balance, they eat the varmints, etc. Man kills the varmints, predators eat the cattle/sheep. Man removes the horses what do you think the predators are going to eat? The cattle/sheep. Why can’t ‘they’ figure this out?

I have coyotes right in my back “yard”, near Dayton, OH. Its kind of discerning sometimes with all the yipping. Yes, they will eat cats! But they have a right to be here same as me. I’ve seen Mink here, too. They also eat rodents.
