PDI - Public Displays of Ignorance

Texas Panhandle

This is a display of a local landowner's ignorance about their local wildlife.
Coyotes used to be shot and hung from barbed wire fences based on the ridiculous belief that it would somehow keep other Coyotes from coming into an area.
This was based on the discredited claim that Coyotes pose a threat to livestock (in spite of decades of science showing they don't).
Further scientific data has shown that shooting Coyotes does not diminish their local population density/size. Female Coyotes just have more pups when populations are lower and the population rebounds within a year or two.
This was shot in 2005 showing how hard to extinguish such old wive's tales.

When your animals are killed it feels good to kill the perpetrators. AIDS emotional healing. No bad done here. Coyotes are not nearly endangered.
