11. When you get rid of one apex predator another

moves in. Say hello to the coyote. Wolves steer clear of humans and aren’t known for hanging around the landfill for a free meal. Coyotes on the other hand do very well in suburbia. Trash and the occasional small pet and they’re damn happy. They also have no problem killing new born calves. Ranchers would be better off putting some donkeys in with the cattle. One donkey can keep up to 300 head of cattle safe. They are territorial, have great hearing and a really nasty kick.
