The story of the coyote in America. A century of abuse, attempts to malign the coyote as a useless vermin and dangerous predator, and decade after decade of escalating attempts to eradicate the species. To this day, an estimated 500,000 coyotes are slaughtered every year. Despite the staggering cost and effort expended to eliminate the coyote, once described in Scientific American as "the original Bolshevik," the animal has not only survived, but expanded its territory throughout the lower 48, and is currently thriving in every major city and suburb of the continental United States. Peaceful coexistence with these intelligent and adaptable predators is not only possible... it is beneficial to each of the rural, suburban, and urban ecosystems that they inhabit with us.
