Adrenalin flowing as if I could really do anything to help. You are right about not wanting the dogs to meet them on their turf - our corgi took on a coyote and though she was hurt and took a week or so to recover she did recover. .-= Dina-Marie´s last blog ..<a href="http://dimes2vines.com/2010/07/29/a-late-garden-works-for-us/" rel="nofollow">A Late Garden Works for Us!</a> =-.

No need to cause an animal to suffer. Air Rifles shouldn't be used on anything larger than a rat IMHO... What’s cruel is using an air rifle, if your going to take the animal down then take him down.

Otherwise they lose their fear of humans and come closer and closer, especially animals like coyotes that tend to be a little bolder. It's annoying to us and unhealthy for them. .-= Dana´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/RoscommonAcres/~3/T_mm-vpEEu8/" rel="nofollow">Helping your chickens survive the summer heat</a> =-.

Some might say this is cruel or cold; but the safety of your family and domestic animals is more important than wild animals that invade at will. .-= T F Stern´s last blog ..<a href="http://tfsternsrantings.blogspot.com/2010/07/aka-f1.html" rel="nofollow">AKA F1</a> =-.
