Have any of you seen the news stories about adult coyotes roaming the streets in Leawood? I watched a bit of the city council meeting tonite. Now coyotes have killed 6 pets and injured several others. But one woman stood up with tears in her voice and begged the council not to trap the coyotes and move them to a more suitable location.

We've seen deer in the trails by our house and stupid geese crap all over the sidewalks at times. But I don't think a coyote would be welcome in my yard. I'd probably have to ask hubby to load the gun for that. My suggestion would be to allow trained animal control officers to shoot the animals with tranquilizers and move them before they attack and possibly kill a youngster that happens to go out after Dad's paper in the morning. I swear. Does nobody have any good sense? Why would somebody pay upwards of 3/4 of a million dollars for a house and be afraid to go outside between dusk and dawn?
