- Family moved to new city and into a new house. House isn't in suburbs, but isn't rural either. On a lake, so fairly spread out properties.
- We have three dogs. A black lab, pug, and mut. The black lab is fine, the pug follows me everywhere. But the mut loves to sneakily walk off and scrounge around for garbage. He used to do this at our old house. He'd come back at 2am with a stuffed gut and the shits.
- We have a fence. The Mut ALWAYS finds a way out.
- In the summer it will be inevitable. Even if the fence is secure, doors will be left open, dogs will adventure.
- Anyways, so people don't think i'm overthinking it.. My dad was cleaning up some stuff in the garage the other day and our Mut quietly walked off. Right away my dad called up to my sister in the carriage house above the garage. My sister grabbed her car and found the Mut with her lights. Long story short, my sister got to our Mut AS he was being mauled by coyotes. She got him out with some bruises and cuts. The dog still wants to wander, didn't learn a thing.
So, anyone have any suggestions on how to deal with these coyotes?
- It seems that the conservation officers won't do much.
- We reside in BC, so no lenient gun laws. (as far as I know)
- We considered an Antolian shepard. But we already have 3 dogs.
- A trapper would be expensive
- We read about sponges soaked in bacon fat, or those hooks in meat--no thanks. So no suggestions that would result in a coyote suffering a long painful death.
Sparknotes - Coyotes in the hood. How do we slay these mongrels so they don't attack our beloved dogs again.
