| ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — An online petition against a planned coyote hunt New Mexico has generated tens of thousands of signatures worldwide, the FBI is investigating a death threat to the gun shop owner who is sponsoring the hunt and one protester has even vowed to dress like a coyote to trick hunters into accidentally killing a human. But none of these episodes will likely stop the owner of Gunhawk Firearms from holding the planned two-day coyote contest this weekend, despite the international attention the idea has garnered. ‘‘I´m not going to back down,’’ said Mark Chavez, 50,

Yeah, that´s it: dress like a coyote and get shot. Well, that would help a little....One less idiot in the world.

Coyotes don´t have a lot of friends, I have never understood that. They do need to be kept to a sensible population but having a hunting contest seems a bit violent.

If I were to shoot a coyote impersonator, I´d want to cripple him so he would have some time to reflect on his own stupidity.

A neighbor of mine recently lost two of his Black Angus calves to coyotes. They will also kill and eat your cat or small dog.
I have never heard of one killing a human but I certainly wouldn´t trust them around a toddler. Plenty of children have been killed by ´pet´ dogs already.
And isn´t that typical of an animal rights activist to call and make a death threat. Real tolerant folks.

Tens of thousands of signatures worldwide. Meaning, a bunch of self-righteous Socialists who´ve never dealt with coyotes feel perfectly justified in demanding a state do as they say. How precious.
As for coyotes, I hate them. They´re like rats only bigger and more dangerous to your pets and little ones. Yes, they will attack a human if it´s a small one -- babes and toddlers. They will stalk your dog even if it´s on a leash attached to your hand. They are a hearty, prolific species that´s more in danger of over-populating than dying out, so why not give hunters something to shoot at.

Went out to walk the dog at dusk and looked a coyote in the eyes at the end of my driveway. Feet did their duty! Neighbor had the same experience. The howling at night is too eerie. Our neighborhood is bereft of cats and some dogs due to these beasts. It isn´t right to have to tote your gun walking the dogs but we do.

The clown in the coyote suit was, almost certainly, an Obama voter. Now he can join the illustrious ranks of the Darwin award winners.

Coyotes have gotten out of hand. They are decimating the deer population in some parts of Ohio. No real preditors around here except humans. West Virginia is having the same issue.

If he gets lucky in that costume, a coyote might attack him.
There are so many coyotes now, that they are strolling urban areas. We are not talking about Bambi folks.

Coyotes are very adaptive animals and are difficult to hunt. A bunch of city guys going out on private land at the same time and blowing wounded rabbit calls will probably cause the wily creatures to hold tight in their dens until the contest is over. The protest is just flat-out stoopidity.

coyotes are wild dogs. They are conniving, clever and do tremendous damage to both livestock and wild game. To find a calf, or a deerling that has been attacked by coyotes is shocking for the kinds of injuries the coyotes inflict. I lived and scouted the New Mexico wilderness for many years. And can honestly say, although coyotes are a part of nature, their numbers must be kept under control if any industrial agriculture or wild game management is to be maintained. nature once kept the coyote under control- until man removed that control. It was wolves.

See if you can get a group of your friends to dress up along with you! The gene pool needs to be reduced anyway and since John Kerry and Al Gore aren´t volunteering, I guess your group would be a good start! Think it as your gift to Mother Nature and your fellow man.

In this country we kill over one million unborn babies every year through abortion. It would be nice if these activist were as concerned over an unborn child as they are over a coyote hunt.

Coyotes are deer killing machines. They also kill calves, sheep, lambs, colts and other farm animals and other game animals. Reducing the predator population is good conservation. I have no problem with it. One dead coyotes = one or more deer or farm livestock will live.

When I lived in NM, IL culled the deer herds in parks. In NM. we didn´t carry guns, but were leary when walking big dogs on the Mesa. The border collies are good with prey animals. But, in our own back yard, we let our cats out (didn´t own small dogs then), we had to sit with them, there were eagles, hawks, and falcons. And coyote could jump privacy fences to get toddlers, small dogs, and cats. Cull them, it´s a good idea.

Coyotes are one of the only feral animals that have increased in population with the encroachment of man. In southern Cal, they have been known to snatch children´s lunches out of their hands. They will "call out" a pet dog and attack it in a pack. They need to be controlled and this is a good start. It´s just too local. It should be nationwide.

HARTFORD, Conn. -- With time running out on the chance to pass gun control legislation, President Barack Obama on Monday warned Congress not to use delaying tactics against tighter regulations and told families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims that he´s "determined as ever" to honor their children with tougher laws. Obama´s gun control proposals have run into resistance on Capitol Hill, leaving their fate in doubt. Efforts by Senate Democrats to reach compromise with Republicans over expanding required federal background checks have yet to yield an agreement, and conservatives were promising to try

North Korea’s young leader Kim Jong-un is waiting for United States President Barack Obama to make a phone call to Pyongyang to discuss easing tensions on the Korean peninsula, according to Russia’s news agency Itar-Tass. The report cited United Kingdom diplomats, saying Pyongyang was demanding the U.S. president personally call Kim Jong-un as one of the conditions to relieve the current conflict at hand. Itar-Tass also quoted the U.K.’s Sky News as saying North Korea currently has eight nuclear warheads.

The murder trial of abortionist Kermit Gosnell largely is being ignored by the mainstream media, even in the face of grisly testimony, such as what we heard yesterday. Life News reports: ...a former employee described how she heard a baby scream during a live-birth abortion. Abortion clinic employee Sherry West described an incident which "really freaked (her) out" and related to the jury how she heard a child who was born alive following an abortion scream.

She was 70.

Beginning a week of high pressure on gun control, the White House on Monday accused some Republican senators of cowardice for planning to filibuster gun legislation without allowing the full Senate to vote on President Obama’s initiatives. “If they oppose this legislation, have the courage to say so on the floor and vote no,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “Don’t block it. Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

Clinton, 33, essentially said "maybe" in an interview that aired Monday on NBC´s Today show. "Right now I´m grateful to live in a city, a state and a country where I strongly support my mayor, my governor, my president and my senators and my representative," said Clinton, whose father, Bill, was president from 1993-2001 and her mother, Hillary

More than 700 Special Operations veterans are urging members of Congress to back a select committee to investigate last year’s Benghazi terrorist attack, according to a letter first obtained by Fox News. The letter from the group, “Special Operations Speaks,” supports the appointment of a special committee tasked with the single mission of investigating the attack that left Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans dead, and shut down the CIA operation in an annex of the Benghazi consulate, in the Sept. 11, 2012 attack. “Congress must show some leadership and provide answers to the public

There was growing buzz over the weekend that a bipartisan agreement on gun control — a deal that would expand background checks — could hit the floor as early as this week. However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.

Amid all of the very real threats of war and stuff from North Korea, you´d think American intelligence officers want as much video footage of the enemy as possible. Well, here is one video featuring North Korean exercises and Kim Jong-Un holding a gun, and we´ll say this: they certainly get points for presentation. Remember the clap-happy report from Dennis Rodman´s diplomatic basketball vacation? This video comes courtesy of the same Youtube channel that gave us that Rodman video.

The case of a same-sex Connecticut couple accused of repeatedly raping and abusing two of their nine adopted boys is headed for trial. Married couple George Harasz and Douglas Wirth of Glastonbury were supposed to be sentenced Friday in Hartford Superior Court under a plea deal, but instead withdrew from their agreement with prosecutors. The men had already pleaded no contest in January to one felony count each of risk of injury to a minor — a reduction from even more serious charges related to sexual assault....
