| ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — An online petition against a planned coyote hunt New Mexico has generated tens of thousands of signatures worldwide, the FBI is investigating a death threat to the gun shop owner who is sponsoring the hunt and one protester has even vowed to dress like a coyote to trick hunters into accidentally killing a human. But none of these episodes will likely stop the owner of Gunhawk Firearms from holding the planned two-day coyote contest this weekend, despite the international attention the idea has garnered. ‘‘I´m not going to back down,’’ said Mark Chavez, 50,

Yeah, that´s it: dress like a coyote and get shot. Well, that would help a little....One less idiot in the world.

Coyotes don´t have a lot of friends, I have never understood that. They do need to be kept to a sensible population but having a hunting contest seems a bit violent.

If I were to shoot a coyote impersonator, I´d want to cripple him so he would have some time to reflect on his own stupidity.

A neighbor of mine recently lost two of his Black Angus calves to coyotes. They will also kill and eat your cat or small dog.
I have never heard of one killing a human but I certainly wouldn´t trust them around a toddler. Plenty of children have been killed by ´pet´ dogs already.
And isn´t that typical of an animal rights activist to call and make a death threat. Real tolerant folks.

Tens of thousands of signatures worldwide. Meaning, a bunch of self-righteous Socialists who´ve never dealt with coyotes feel perfectly justified in demanding a state do as they say. How precious.
As for coyotes, I hate them. They´re like rats only bigger and more dangerous to your pets and little ones. Yes, they will attack a human if it´s a small one -- babes and toddlers. They will stalk your dog even if it´s on a leash attached to your hand. They are a hearty, prolific species that´s more in danger of over-populating than dying out, so why not give hunters something to shoot at.

Went out to walk the dog at dusk and looked a coyote in the eyes at the end of my driveway. Feet did their duty! Neighbor had the same experience. The howling at night is too eerie. Our neighborhood is bereft of cats and some dogs due to these beasts. It isn´t right to have to tote your gun walking the dogs but we do.

The clown in the coyote suit was, almost certainly, an Obama voter. Now he can join the illustrious ranks of the Darwin award winners.

Coyotes have gotten out of hand. They are decimating the deer population in some parts of Ohio. No real preditors around here except humans. West Virginia is having the same issue.

If he gets lucky in that costume, a coyote might attack him.
There are so many coyotes now, that they are strolling urban areas. We are not talking about Bambi folks.

Coyotes are very adaptive animals and are difficult to hunt. A bunch of city guys going out on private land at the same time and blowing wounded rabbit calls will probably cause the wily creatures to hold tight in their dens until the contest is over. The protest is just flat-out stoopidity.

Coyote fur also makes dandy lining or trim on heavy-duty parkas...and yes, they attack calves here too, in East Texas

coyotes are wild dogs. They are conniving, clever and do tremendous damage to both livestock and wild game. To find a calf, or a deerling that has been attacked by coyotes is shocking for the kinds of injuries the coyotes inflict. I lived and scouted the New Mexico wilderness for many years. And can honestly say, although coyotes are a part of nature, their numbers must be kept under control if any industrial agriculture or wild game management is to be maintained. nature once kept the coyote under control- until man removed that control. It was wolves.

See if you can get a group of your friends to dress up along with you! The gene pool needs to be reduced anyway and since John Kerry and Al Gore aren´t volunteering, I guess your group would be a good start! Think it as your gift to Mother Nature and your fellow man.

In this country we kill over one million unborn babies every year through abortion. It would be nice if these activist were as concerned over an unborn child as they are over a coyote hunt.

Coyotes are deer killing machines. They also kill calves, sheep, lambs, colts and other farm animals and other game animals. Reducing the predator population is good conservation. I have no problem with it. One dead coyotes = one or more deer or farm livestock will live.

When I lived in NM, IL culled the deer herds in parks. In NM. we didn´t carry guns, but were leary when walking big dogs on the Mesa. The border collies are good with prey animals. But, in our own back yard, we let our cats out (didn´t own small dogs then), we had to sit with them, there were eagles, hawks, and falcons. And coyote could jump privacy fences to get toddlers, small dogs, and cats. Cull them, it´s a good idea.

Morons rule! Yes, the same animal lovers prefer nature kill them via being eaten alive, starving to death, disease or taking a human or two with them by causing a car wreck. See the wisdom at work?

Coyotes are one of the only feral animals that have increased in population with the encroachment of man. In southern Cal, they have been known to snatch children´s lunches out of their hands. They will "call out" a pet dog and attack it in a pack. They need to be controlled and this is a good start. It´s just too local. It should be nationwide.

It’s been more than 40 years since Watergate, but the old story—and its characters—made news once again with the Washington premiere of Robert Redford’s new documentary about the scandal. And Top Line snagged red carpet interviews with the big stars of the night: Robert Redford, Bob Woodward, and Carl Bernstein. Redford’s new documentary All the President’s Men Revisited takes a historical look at the scandal—and the investigative reporting by Woodward and Bernstein—that ultimately led to President Richard Nixon’s resignation. Redford, who says “we need a lot of people like Woodward and Bernstein” today, hopes the documentary

A group of whistleblowers, including a number of aviation experts, have come forward in a new documentary to claim that the official explanation for the crash of TWA Flight 800 was wrong and a gas tank explosion did not bring down the flight off the coast of Long Island 17 years ago. However, the six whistleblowers, all part of the original investigation team, stopped short of saying the plane was shot down. Flight 800, a Boeing 747, had just taken off from JFK airport with 230 people aboard on July 17, 1996 enroute to Paris when it exploded

An attorney whose firm represents two Benghazi whistleblowers said Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, lied to the Senate when he said there was never a “stand down” order during the Benghazi attack on Sept. 11, 2012. “What was fascinating is that he explained his lie to them,” Joe DiGenova, an attorney representing one of the whistleblowers, told CNSNews.com. “He actually said they were sent to Tripoli. They were needed in Benghazi,” said DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney, now with the Washington firm of DiGenova & Toensing.

Likening religious schools to segregation--a racist system that forced blacks to attend different schools and use different facilities than whites in the American South--President Barack Obama told a town hall meeting for youth in Belfast, Northern Ireland on Monday that there should not be Catholic and Protestant schools because such schools cause division. "Because issues like segregated schools and housing, lack of jobs and opportunity--symbols of history that are a source of pride for some and pain for others--these are not tangential to peace; they’re essential to it,"

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

Listening to Barack Obama give his speech in Belfast on Monday, it was hard not to stifle a yawn. I kept waiting for the part when he would say something interesting, but, about three quarters of the way through, realised it wasn’t going to come. Judging from television pictures some of his young audience felt the same, after the initial rush of euphoria of receiving the rock star president in their midst had passed. This is not surprising, for we had already heard this number about the inspirational role of the Northern Ireland peace process and the Emerald Isle’s

This is the thirtieth anniversary of the publication of How Democracies Perish, an analysis of the spread of world communism by Jean-François Revel, one of freedom´s most serious French defenders since Tocqueville. At the heart of this work, Revel details "The Tools of Communist Expansion," among which the most relevant for understanding our current situation comes in Chapter 16, "Ideological Warfare and Disinformation." The profound simplicity of Revel´s nuts and bolts account of totalitarianism´s Cold War advance, far from being obsolete

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.
