"Coyotes Attack Man Walking His Dog"
Well, here we go....got a call the other day from Walton Animal Control concerning Coyotes growling and being aggressive to a lady and her dog in a subdivision not far from my home. The subdivision has a 40 acre. Commons area and is bordered on the south side by another 200 acres. I can sit on my front porch in the evening at dark and hear coyotes howling on the 200.

The "wildlife expert" in this article states that fruit is a staple of the coyote and since it is scarce this time of year, they are turning to pets for food. This statement is incorrect. The truth is that Coyotes are Predators. As a Professional and Certified Wildlife Control Trapper who is on the frontlines year round, I have first hand experience as to the actual diet of a Coyote, For years, I have read the Federal Government and University thesis and research papers of the Coyote and it's habits and know for a fact that the main diet of a Coyote is meat. They are carnivores first and foremost. Their main diet here in Ga. is the Whitetail deer, voles, mice, moles, rabbits, squirrels, guineas, turkeys, calves, foals and carrion. Whatever they can kill and eat, they will, including pets. In the summer and fall, they will eat persimmons, but to have an armchair "expert" state to the public that they turned to pets because fruit was scarce is ridiculous. They kill cats and small dogs because they are easy prey, easily available and they know just where to go to hunt.
