Before I knew what a coyote was, I painted (badly) a watercolor of a trio of dogs from a photo and later realized they were coyotes. I've always thought them to be every bit as beautiful as any other animal. There's something magical about their independence. This 'native' designation is nothing more than licence to justify cruel and uncaring behavior, pulled out for convenience. I live in Florida and recently listened to a man who runs a pet food store describe how he gleefully bashes 'invasive' iguanas to death, feeling justified and entitled.
Yes, how often have I needed help to save animal, only to be left figuring out how to do it myself!
Even the most progressive shelter does not help on some things and you can not talk to them about those issues either, and now there is an open house to see how great they are. Well, I would appreciate accomodation for my disability as a virtual tour. I am going to suggest it.
I recently made a donation and it was not acknowledged.
NATHAN, YOU ARE A SAINT

Wonderful story and useful information, Nathan. Thank you!
Finally a good use for ChatGPT! Thank you for taking care of the coyote (and squirrels, and pigeons...)
