Ok, its time to be "harsh".
This comment fellas, speaks volumes about the ignorance we're dealing with.
And I suppose there is something wrong with having geese, now? It is a well known fact that some ganders can be pretty mean. (I am ignorant because I have some geese?) We also have a banty rooster that's pretty mean. We don't let the grandkids around him either.
The fact you said "I think one of them (a goose) could do more damage than a coyote ever could" shows your ignorance on coyotes, and really, the entire animal hierarchy of predator/prey animals entirely. Get a clue woman. You really dont see the stupidity in that statement? A goose being more dangerous than a coyote??? Its downright laughable!
We had some giant Canadas when I was little (and also some African Swans which made the Canadas seem like teddy bears). And I got wumped on plenty of times by ganders protecting a nest. I tell you what, id MUCH rather have a big gander pecking and beating me (or a kid) with wings than a coyote latched onto me (or a kid).
Than the fact that you previously compared coyotes to "nothing more than small dogs" also proves your ignorance on the animal. Thats like saying a black lab and a malamute are the same when they are completely different animals with entirely different behaviors, mannerisms, traits, and personalities which makes them better (or worse) for certain things. But I digress, your the animal expert here so im sure you were aware of that.
As for you regulars on this site encouraging this women. Think long and hard about what your doing. This woman came right out and in a not so hidden way bashed what many of us are very passionate about, and what some of us do full-time for a living. Read between the lines.
I think pets4ever is exactly the kind of person HSUS and PETA love to get at the ballot box when it comes time to further their agenda through the ballot box. A self proclaimed "animal lover" that votes on emotion and succumbs to anti-propoganda and likely doesn't know what hunting and trapping truly is and how important it is.

And please don't say it would be unkind or cruel or unfair the the coyote. That isn't true. I could also say that trapping them, poisoning them and shooting them from airplanes is unkind cruel and unfair to coyotes too. But I won't.
Shes not saying.....but shes saying.
