Was talking to someone who lives a couple miles outside of town in an expensive housing development that has sprung up from a sold-off farm. They hear the coyotes almost nightly. She was distressed to walk out in her yard one morning to find a nearly completely eaten deer carcass. My reaction, which I kept to myself, was "Wow, they keep busy enough and you could start growing hostas again!"

I hear what you are saying 3refs. I find myself thinking, "They have their place, and so do we humans." Both species need to be kept in balance.
