That's complete bullshit. There is many examples of them pulling down fit and active adults. As a pack animal and running 5-20 deep? Yeah them ripping apart my dog is a very real possibility.

Living on the reservation I'd watch packs hunting before dark. Had over 30 packs on that section of reservation. Which are breeding with feral dogs and contributing to the death of an Elder.

I've seen them take on multiple dogs and only scared off by the human owners using firearms.

On the subject? I was attacked and forced up into a tree and spent some quality time with coyotes as a full grown man. So not at all the case.

That statement of you think? I know for a fact I was nearly ripped apart. Even a small pack can get you on the ground with a single bite on your Achilles tendon. At that point it's just a matter of fact that they will feast upon your sweet flesh.

And yes in the area there is a huge issue with missing pets. And main cause of the problem is coyotes as their number has increased and there isn't any population control.

And ever walked your dog and have to stand off coyotes? I have. Let's just say I was more worried about dieing than thinking my size had anything to do with the fight.

Not thinking during a critical time? Might end you dead.

This weekend there were multiple packs of coyotes in the city park I was at. As well as fresh prints when I came back from the store.

Respect the Trickster. He is the Coyote for a reason. He will use his female to lead off a dog and then the pack will feed on your pet.

Cats? Even a tree won't stop them. They will wait in shifts while dehydration sets in. The cat will get down and become the snack. If the cat is even able to get to protection. Too many cats go missing here in the area and local vets know about the infection risks and disease they carry.
