Amazing that when you're called out with evidence about your stupid "electric fence for everyone!" idea, you tuck your tail and run like a pansy. Not surprised.
Just because it's cost effective doesn't make it moral! Jesus people! It's cheaper to kill of fat people and smokers than to have doctors help them for years on end. But it's not OK!!!!?!!! FFS
1)Introducing sterilants to treat rodents and pesticides for vegetation is something that many are not willing to do on their property, let alone the huge cost of properly erecting an electric fence.
2)Comparing the death of a person to a wild animal that's killing my property is ridiculous and comprises the thought process of a middle schooler.
Cost is absolutely a factor on a large property:
Choice A: Spend $1000+ erecting and maintaining a 9-line electric fence (adhering to Canadian standard to keep out coyotes) + introducing pesticides/herbicides/rodent sterilants to the environment for proper maintenance.
or
Choice B: Spend $0.25 for a bullet and receive a free meal + bones for the dog.
But keep touting your electric fence for coyote solution and let us know when you come back to reality.

Yes it's cheaper.
No that doesn't make it the moral choice.
Your heart, it's bleeding.

We have a piney squirrel problem. The liltte bastards bastards get in the the walls of my place, my landlords place and destroy insulation, wires, siding and whatever else they can gnaw on. They alos chew the wiring on cars. When we see them in the trees, we shoot them.
I guess my question to you neckarb is, how do we go about building an electric fence around the trees? Maybe we should just chop down the trees so they will find a new place.
post your location so I can laugh at this.
Over yonder is a cornfield. Over yonder the other way is a beanfield. Way over yonder is some trees. Lots a trees. Trees as far as the eyes can sees.
Laugh away...

Most of us feel that this isn't a problem as far as morals are concerned. Shooting the coyote was ethical.
Sometimes things just aren't feasible.Sorry, what was your point?
Sometimes things just aren't feasible.
Killing things is never ethical unless it was in self defence, It bothers me that people seem to think killing things is fine.
Killing things IS fine...and it doesn't have to be in self defense.
I like to eat. Animals are food, and they're good.
I live in town now, so I don't have any predators to worry about, but we do get mice and rats on the yard/garden from time to time. You can bet your ass that if they're eating my tomatoes, I'm gonna set traps to kill them.
That's going in my sig.

This killing was in self defense. Defense of food which you need to live.
