Oh good grief.

A coyote followed Jupiter and I on our walk earlier this week.

Just because I don't want it sniffing directly around us doesn't mean I want it put down as a "nuisance".

I just don't know it's intentions. I don't know if it's there because it's lost, because it for run out of its natural territory, it's looking for new territory because of the super bloom, it was captured as a pup and raised to be bait for dog fights and escaped (meaning it's wounded and has reason to be aggressive toward humans).

I don't know if it's going to try to steal my dog because its desperately hungry, just curious, wants to hump my dog, exploring, hoping for dropped food or water, looking to defend new territory, etc.

Still wouldn't want that coyote killed.

You're being irrational and histrionic. And yes, like most of us, you are definitely your own worst enemy.
