摘要

Native Americans revere the coyote for its low cunning and high ability to survive. For conservationists, it is an integral part of the scenery of pre-settler America. But for the sheep farmers of the Great Plains and the west, it is simply a pest: a wolf in short pants, a killer of stock, worthy only of eradication. Attempts to control coyotes have concentrated on culling them. But coyotes have earned the respect they get from those who know them best: despite all efforts to slaughter them, they survive across a huge swathe of North America, munching on sheep with abandon. The country they share with the sheep is often open prairie, and hard to police. A fence is for them just an obstacle to overcome, and poisoned bait an accident waiting to happen to a passing bird of prey, as demonstrated by the death of many an eagle, a better-loved American icon, in the 1970s.
