What if I were to tell you hunting predatory animals is most selfish thing a hunter can do, unless they are thining out an over populated species.
What goes around comes around, you don't eat them, why kill them? Just your local tree hugging opinion.
And for your whining about the law: It's legal to hunt lions in Africa, why not go to your local zoo and shoot the first lion you see...You gonna let some geographical line stop you?
Someone has obviously never tried to sneak a gun into the zoo... way harder than you would think, especially a shotgun!
I can see your point, however I also see and understand the views of those in favor of thinning the local wolf/coyote population. I've had the unfortunate luck of watching a coyote run off a nice buck that had been walking in my direction. I've also had the misfortune of knowing a buddy whose 20lb beagle ended up on the wrong end of a battle with a coyote. I helped him find that coyote, lure it in, and then watched him get even for Shivers. It's easy to say that you shouldn't shoot coyotes/other predators when you've never known someone who's lost a pet to them much like it's easy to have no problem with child molesters living by schools until you've known someone who's kid was a victim of theirs.
