GOOD! Predator killing contests serve no purpose! They are nothing but bloodsports. Science has shown again and again that mass killing coyotes only causes the remaining coyotes to reproduce even more, resulting in a larger coyote population the following spring. There are NO scientific articles or research studies showing killing contests help reduce coyote population.
The sheer level of disrespect hunters show towards these animals is appalling, and don't let them fool you into thinking they eat these animals either. 9 times out of 10 they are thrown away like trash.
Coyotes are not harming the deer population as they also will have you believe, they are not harming any wild game species... granted they are keeping game species populations in check (where hunters will work to INFLATE game species so that they can kill more of them).
Hunters lie. They don't listen to science. Hunting is NOT conservation. They only kill to kill, especially in these killing contests. I hope the cancellation of this contest encourages others to fight against wildlife abuse and brutality.
