Coyote killing contest in Alberta Canada

[Catherine]

I am ashamed and embarrassed that this is taking place in my country.
These killing contests are shameful. They also fail to understand the ecological balance that exists. Coyotes eat a lot of mice and other small rodents. If they kill enough then there is the risk of a rodent surge. Natural deaths do not all come in one day and they only take the weak and sick. Contests kill the healthy and upset the balance.

I no longer live in Alberta and I think I wouldn't want to.
