RE: coyotes
Like most things waiting, that is all a matter of where you get your information. If your argument is based on statistics then you need to reevaluate your position because as a guy who works with statistics for a living, I can present the same information to you 12 different ways and each way could convince you of something different and contradictory.
Coyotes are one of the most destructive animals on the planet.
Wolves are responsible for a great reduction in the % of elk being impregnated. So, it isn't only how many they kill, but how many aren't born because of them.
I know it is a touchy subject and I totally respect your position. The above is just mine.
