Coyotes are all over southern California in record numbers. And they don't just kill cats. My parents lost two dogs to Coyotes. I had to clean up after both dog kills. Trust me it's not a pretty site. Coyotes will get over a 5 foot fence with easy. I'm not sure how they manage it but they do. We even see Coyotes here in the beach area occasionally. As people push into the wild areas encounters with Coyotes are inevitable.
I don't believe in killing every Coyote that you see. They are a part of nature. But if you do kill one at least you should use what you kill.
