There's an asshole who lives about a mile south of me in suburban eastern Pennsylvania. I've learned that he recently shot a coyote.
I don't know how mad about this I should be. I don't fully understand the ecological consequences of killing a predator. I always assumed that their populations are controlled by prey abundance, and so there's no reason for humans to control them like we control deer here in BUCKS county PA. Am I wrong? I'm guessing my view is an oversimplification, since eastern PA is far from a natural environment, so ecosystems might work differently here.
