I have been told, that coyotes will sometimes use a bitch in heat as bait to
draw domestic dogs away from home, to where they can eat them. You have to
remember, that dogs have been bred for thousands of generations, to be
dependant on humans. They don't really have "wild sense" any more. I don't
think that there is much worse, than people who have dogs, and don't take
care of them.

I had a cat killed by coyotes once. Now I keep them all inside. But you
knew that. ;^)

I think you have gone off your rocker Nate.
I won't sit here and argue with you but I strongly disagree with you on both
views.

An animal cannot be consciously Evil.
Animals are driven by instinct.

Blowing up an abortion clinic is insane.

That's all I have to say about that.

There is, in my opinion, only the German Shepherd. All other dogs are
pretenders to the throne.

Sound like I'm biased?

You bet!

Using a "bitch in heat" is a scene right out of "White Fang".
Good movie, saw it this weekend with the grandson.
