Gotta say, baby yotes are kinda cute...

You can’t fault a creature for trying to live, even if they’re living someplace, we don’t think they should. Those are adorable pups, you did the right thing.

Reminds me of Lon Chaney in The Wolf Man

I had to look that up. It was who I was thinking of, but Jr. His father was actually in horror movies as well. And I agree with you

They are the only wild animals that kill for fun, and they are not native to Georgia. I shoot everyone I see. Have never been in your situation OP but I still would like to think I would have sent the pups to be with mama.

Domesticated dogs and cats kill for fun, and so do people, kill all those as well under the same premise?

They have taken several pets in our neighborhood this past couple weeks. One right on a leash.

No love lost for a dead aggressive yote. Or dog. Or anything. And I damn well know what the pups would be in 3 months. But felt like a conservation where people can see em and learn is a good median. If a conservation didn't take em, they would be dead.

My neighbor texted me this morning that her small cat was missing and they can't find her anywhere.
They're not from around here and I didn't have the heart to tell her the cat was probably an hors d'oeuvre for a pack of coyotes.

That's nature, and coyotes are here to stay. They out competed their competitors and carved out a niche in this ecosystem. That's how nature works. You can't fault them for being good at their jobs. I've had several pets killed by yotes, that's just how it is.

My favorite cat ever was killed by coyotes, and I still don’t hate them. It’s not personal, they’re just surviving.

Rest in peace, Buffy.

All babies are supposed to be cute. For survival reasons but did one of em bite you? I think you may be slightly delirious. Those things are fugly.

I agree! Looks like my first wife

But they still needed to go. Momma attacked my jack this morning in my back yard, leaving 7 pups behind. I did find a conservation willing to take the pups.

My pup will be fine as well. Got lucky. Barely missed her liver and I was out with them. She's on pain killers and all sorts of stuff, so not very happy atm.

I didn't even know what these pups were, I have never seen a coyote in my life.

Sorry for your loss.

We’ve had em since the 70s when they took the place of our native red wolves. While not technically native to Georgia, it was bound to happen. At least they didn’t come from another country.
