Perhaps , he meant the human cargo coyote.
The advice I am about to give you is worth what you are paying for it.

One of the most pleasurable times of day for us is sitting on our back porch in Borrego Springs watching the coyote families trot back and forth in
the early morning, and evening. They are awesome characters, IMO.
Tho your pic is pretty funny, I too am not thrilled with your implication.
Coyotes rule, you know!!

Udo,
I don't think those guys are getting the drift of your meaning.

Udo--------if you meant the sneaky, low-down cross border types of "coyotes" then I am WITH YOU------blast away!!! but not until the canine says "ok,

In Mexico, the human smugglers are called COYOTES. Perhaps I should have worded the heading differently. But somehow human smugglers sounds
more humane than COYOTES, who do anything to make a living.

I guess Barry and I are on a different tack here,
but I do have to respond to your remarks.
Here in Central California two of my neighbors have seen those sweet, loveable little critters departing the yard with their family's pet cats firmly
gripped in the jaws.
Not a nice sight!!!

Since we are on the subject of the canine "coyotes," here in Running Springs, CA., in the San Bernardino mountains, we see "coyotes", daily and
nightly. We have a large pack of them living at the bottom of our canyon about 100 yards away. Within roaming range of the pack, there are no outside
cats. Any one who owns a cat keeps it indoors. From personal experience, many years ago, they made a meal out of two of my cats.
I have no anymosity against the canine "coyotes", and I think they are magnificent creatures. We, the humans, are living in their environment, and
it's their territory to do as they wish. Just like the bears and coons that raid our trash cans. I think it's cool. This is a wild environment just
like Baja, and, we, have to be the ones adjusting to them.
Now, the Baja COYOTES are a different breed of slime who have no regard of human lves.
Nuff said!

The slang term "coyote" is used for more than just human smugglers, otherwise referred to as "polleros". In the DF it's any operative on the fringes
of the law who can "fix" things, often with connections in government.
I too, kind of like the trickster. But I'm sure I'd feel different if one ate a pet of mine. Don't let your dogs run loose, especially at night,
when camping in Baja. Coyote packs have been known to use females in heat to lure male dogs away from camp where they are then brought down by the
pack. Coyotes are hunted in Arizona. Other than a hunting license, no special permit is required and it is encouraged by AZGF.
All my childhood I wanted to be older. Now I\'m older and this chitn sucks.

A couple of years ago a coyote came into my yard and killed my old cat Tommy and drug him a couple of miles up a fire break in the mountains behind my
house. Tommy suffered from old age and diabetes. Tommy had run out of the garage when I opened it about 6:30 AM. Around 7:00 AM I found Tommy’s fresh
blood on the driveway and some of his orange hair and that is how I knew he was taken by a coyote. I was about 30 minutes behind them following the
blood trail and the drag marks as well as Tommy’s fur impressions when the coyote would lay him in the dust to rest. I finally came upon the coyote
eating Tommy on the side of the road. Needless to say I killed the coyote with 15 shots from my 9 mm. I have no regrets. I would gladly kill another
if they harm my animals. If they leave me alone I do not bother them.

I think if anyone had a coyote grabbed their kid they would have a different attitude toward them. I tolerate them as long as they keep a respectful
distance, especially around my pets and grandkids.

We have canine coyotes roaming our canyon floors all around North County San Diego - we see signs of missing cats and small dogs, like Pugs and
Chihuahuas, all the time. You just know it's the coyotes that got them.

We used to often camp out on the beaches of Las Animas bay------coyotes lured my son's German Shepard out of camp one time the first night there, and
"Kenai" the shepard killed one coyote about a hundred yards from camp--------we had no coyote problems the rest of the time there, but we sure heard
them every night. Like some have said, when in "their" country expect the consequences, but I admit that if they had killed a pet of mine near my
house (I live in the city) I would have been really teed off.
Coyotes used to take a cat now and then (never a dog) at the family ranch in Owens Valley----we lost maybe 6 cats over 30 years. We had bear and
cougar there too, from time to time, but they only caused the dogs (4 to 6 of them) to go nuts----nothing more.
I am thinking the citified coyotes are more aggressive, and bold????

The citified coyotes have adapted, learning that there is an easy food source in pets and that most humans in the city will not shoot at them.

I can't get over this... 
Fussing over a photo with a caption about shooting coyotes!
Anyway, I wish there were more coyotes around here... the rabbits are taking over, killing people's lawns... Not enough coyotes to balance it all out!
Now, how about some rabbit lovers to protest this!

Could be a bad assumption on the part of some coyotes

Here at Rancho la Aguja, we are surrounded by coyotes - not the big roving bands (my neighbor once counted 25), but small groups of 3-5. Apart from
chewing up irrigation lines occasionally, they are not much of a nuisance (unless you love rabbits).
Our Rottweilers can spot them from the patio (we live on a hillside above the beach) and take off with roars of righteous anger - but it would be a
cold day in hell when a Rotty could catch a coyote.
At night (being about 10 times smarter than Rottweilers), they simply give a couple of yips at the bottom of the hill, the Rotts respond with roars of
rage (thus clearly showing location), and the coyoytes just trot around them.
