Will someone from Wildlife please allocate some goddamned money to study the Coyotes?

Listen I don’t care if you’re one of these Coyote sympathizers who would rather see a human eaten than a coyote put down or if you are a Coyote hater who thinks that we can eradicate and remove them one by one and relocate them. -I consider both factions equally crazy on the crazy meter.

But the fact of the matter is that there’s bananaland amounts of money being spent on counting fish.  I’m pretty sure we have more people counting how many fish that are being landed than we actually have fishermen fishing for fish.

So how about we carve out just a smidgen of money to track the explosion in the past 8 years of coyotes living among us.  We had the coyote that had to be shot down at East Gloucester Elementary School and now this attack on Eastern Point.  Every single year there are more and more of them around us.

I’m not saying that we gotta round em up and kill em or relocate them, but I wouldn’t mind some benchmarks or some studying.

Oh, here it is, The National Marine Fisheries Service 2016 Proposed budget- A Mere $990,121,000.00

Isn’t it about time we get some money together to study the coyotes and figure out what the heck is going on?
