Leaving too many coyotes in an area is bad for ALL the wildlife,
including the coytes.

Sometimes there is not enough food for them so they either starve to
death, or eat people's pets (and children), and wipe out ALL the
other wildlife in an area. They are very prolific.

There are limits that have to be set sometimes.

When was the last time a child was eaten by a coyote around here (or
anywhere for that matter)?

It was somewhere in California, don't recall which city; but they have
problems with cougars preying on children there too. Cougars and grizzly
bears in Montana, though I haven't heard that they GOT any. Children, that
is. They have killed and eaten the occasional backpacker or stupid tourist,
though...

Carnivores eat meat, so there's no surprise. Have you checked the
Sudan lately, where people are dying by the tens of thousands per
week? They are overpopulated, should we go in and start shooting
them, or worse, for sport kill them with our snowmobiles? What's that
about?

Mother Nature is taking care of that for us.
