More than 71,000 coyotes that had a bounty on their heads have been killed in Saskatchewan, but critics say the number is appalling and doesn't solve a predator problem.

"The other problem was that there was almost no respect in the coyote population. They were packing up, coming right into yards. We talked before about them coming onto porches and eating out of the dog dish and in some cases killing the pets. The farm dog ... was being lured out by packs and being killed."

It's a bad thing when a predator doesn't fear humans, that animal is more likely to see a kid or small adult as food rather than another predator higher on the chain.

Coyotes by their very nature are shifty too, especially when they are packed up.
