Alot of hypocrits on here. You would poison rats and let them run off and die but a yote you have morals. Give it a break. Ammo for anti,Hell they got videos of worse than what I say.
People don't go poison rats simple for enjoyment. They are disease carrying pests. If it wasn't for the bubonic plague people may not hold such animosity towards rats.
It's one thing if you shoot a coyote because it is destructive towards you, your land, or your property (animals included). It's another thing to go out, hunt it, bait it in and shoot it just to fill a blood-lust.
