I'm pissed they killed it. I think we need more big yotes to weed out all the "purse" dogs. All the Jessica Simpsons of the world, rejoice.
I feel that those people that cry the loudest about this would be the same people to yell should the yote be relocated and then some hiker gets attacked. Fact is there is a big aggressive yote in an urban area, who is not so afraid of humans. Bad juju. Auction/sell off the pelt and add some money to the fund.
Yep we are encroaching. So you are going to throw that big boy out in some other ecosystem and throw that one off? Great.
There are plenty of yotes/cougar in urban areas that you never see. They do their thing and never harm humans.
