some 40 years ago the states of mo ks and others thought it would be a great idea to infect coyote with a pathogene to cause mange so they would die of exposier and reduce to ever increasing numbers. of course they did not make it public it was just an expierment to offset the removal of bounty and hunting pressure as urban sprawl began to show signs of helping the coyote gain ground in habitate by learning to live with humans carelessness.As a night hunter of coon, fox, bob cat, I would see the detestable results in the field of hairless coyote and killed many out of kindness. I quit killing any living thing about that time i even release my fish. But i RUN dogs and enjoy the chase that is always won buy the quary.for some years I humanely removed 'critters' from local trouble spots with conibear type traps and dogs never poison mainly building better relations with the producer and his menaceing varmit.I do think the picture looks a lot like RedWolf/Coyote/Whippet hound. We had a german shepard X coyote with a saddle back as Alpha dog in a pack that terrorized a 15 mile railroad bed timber for 10 years and still see his offspring sometimes. During the days when it was Good OLe boy's 4x4s and greyhounds we found several coyote with greyhound traites/whippet/coonhound.Meanest one i handled was a bull mastif crossed coyote that had a taste for pigglets. he could fight off a sow solo and carry a gilt 50 feet before laying it down for the pack to dismember.Also of note is in 65 years farming and critterchasing I never once saw evidence of a coyote/wolf doing damage to bovine-equine species onlt coming in for the afterbirth on a cow/ calf pair while it was steamy. i have left a dead calf while i took the cow to the barn and returned to find it draged some distance away. Local packs of domestic dogs cause a lot more damage than all the wild varmits combined. They do not have the skills to effectively hunt and feed a pack like the cousin does so they create more opertunities with domestic tastes like trash/cats/ backyard pet's pigmy goats and sheep. I have never seen a sheep carcuse thatwas Killed by coyote either. i have not seen lambs that were victims only cold bodies that were diseased or stillborne.I won't say it never happens but not when I could prove it in a court of law. Coyote did not slaughter your farm animal.
