Dogs, actually. There are some abnormally large coyotes in my area that have been luring out and killing neighbourhood dogs. And not just small dogs, either.
I'm assuming food in in short supply this winter, and it's making them more desperate than in previous years.
Ah yes, they are fond of cats around here. AND it's been noticed that they are exhibiting more Wolf-pack like behaviors. So going after larger domestic animals doesn't surprise me, sadly. There have also been a couple of reports -out of Tahoe Basin- of Coyotes being spotted on ski slopes during the day, which is pretty bold of them. In one case, one supposedly chased a skier down the slope. So, yeah- I can see your point of view about Coyotes...
