Animules, you are right. there is a guy in our town that put an ad in the newspaper asking for coyote hunters to hunt his property, I new the guy and asked if he was having a problem and he told me that the coyotes were looking in his kids bedroom windows (basement)  and they were scared to go catch the school bus in the morning because they didn't want to go outside.
 I saw a pack at my Dads house one day running in the corn field, it was broad daylight, he thinks they killed all his barn cats.
They are getting to be a real problem in northeast Ohio.

Here is a cool video of 2 coyotes trying to attack a wolf.   www.youtube.com/watch

Missbeeb,

I think you are being mislead a bit. These coyotes above were "called" expecting wounded prey and found waiting humans instead, not like they were searching for people to eat. They are wiley and wild and opportunistic.

The problem is, they need to be managed as said above, not wantonly slaughtered. There is a correct way to do this, but most great white hunters are not really interested in that. I just finished reading "The Daily Coyote" where this is explained by someone who is hired by the US government to kill coyotes that prey on livestock.

And of course leave it to Uglydog to find the ugly sides to everything! lol

Eastern coyotes are much larger than Western coyotes. The Eastern ones I have seen in my backyard are the size of a good sized German Shepherd. I only see them passing through at certain times of the year. They have been successful working together to take down deer. Cats and small dogs are not safe, but my cat seems to have managed to avoid being supper for eight years now, lol! Haven't heard of a single human attack in the state of CT. I would be more afraid of rabies if that were the case. Supposedly they have even been seen in Manhattan! They were pretty much unheard of here 50 or so years ago. They are pretty much here to stay, now though.

 Personally, I think, calling them in to be shot is better then some of the awful alternatives.
i remember farmers bragging about taking a kitten and putting it into a crate in the middle of a field and then set traps around the crated kitten, or wait at the edge of the field to shoot them.
I think most traps are inhumane and found a german shepherd mix caught in one; his leg nearly chewed off and crazy in pain. We were able to release him, but it was not a pretty sight. 
I would much rather see them called in and shot rather than suffer in a trap, or use a kitten as "the call". 
Coyotes do great damage to livestock and pets. We raise horses and have witnessed the carnage that a pack of coyotes ca do to a herd.
