Some countries have feral dogs running around, we have coyotes. Eh, seems fine (and better tbh since coyotes don't come near humans if they can avoid it). I'd like to see one.

I live a couple cities north of Seattle, and see coyotes pretty consistently. With the bunny population exploding in the last few years, the coyotes that i see are well fed and quite beautiful.

Isn't this step one of domestication?

We have them all over here in the Great Lakes urban areas. It's impressive seeing a good sized mammalian predator integrate into busy cities so effectively. One night after moving to a new place in Milwaukee we were greeted by a whole pack howling in the industrial park across the street. It was such a beautiful experience!

That said, we do need to be cautious. Coyotes can absolutely get more comfortable around people. We've had issues here with them going after pets, even attacking leashed dogs on walks. On other areas, attacks on adult humans have even been reported. It's becoming a point of contention where I'm at, because ignorant city folk don't understand that we're not putting the genie back in the bottle on this one. Coyotes are thriving on the waste of humans and pests our behavior attracts. Plus, they were here first.

I live on the edge where suburban development touches the wild. We have many coyotes. Some seem local, some migrate with a pack. They are essential for critter control and rarely approach a human.

I live in Western NY and I've seen them in the suburbs and near some urban areas. Not common, but they've definitely extended their range beyond the Western states.
