So the special needs folks on Nextdoor are now so concerned about coyotes they are raising money to hire one of the neighbors who is "Starting his own animal removal company" to trap the yotes.

He is asking $300 for the first one he traps then $100 for each one after that.

Has everyone gone full retard? Are people just allowed to set up traps around town all randomly? If so I want to start trapping all their "fur baby outdoor cats" who are nothing more than strays who [censored] in my yard and kill the lizard babies and bird babies that nature provided me.

I have not commented on this story on the Nextdoor app yet as I wanted to get yalls insight on the best way to handle this.

Wouldn't it be easier to use a gamo whisper on the coyotes?

Proper licensing and anything's possible I guess. Can't blame anybody for making money off dumb people.

So are you saying that you are not now or have not been trapping Feral Cats and relocating them?

I would never tell anyone publicly if I were or were not doing that here in my neighborhood.

Last year in the TFF Trading section, some guy was catching and skinning neighborhood cats and selling their pelts on this site.

[color:#666666][/color]Tell em to find some puppies or kittens with parvovirus and leave em overnight out in the area. This will clean out the coyote population for a while. Them you can walk around and pick em up

No. In jest I said I want to start if thats allowed.




But...Now that I know there is money in it...

We got a flyer on the door a few weeks ago inviting us to join the neighborhood next door group. I declined

Oh no you must. Its some of the most entertaining stuff you will ever see. I bet its especially good in your area. You dont have to participate you can just lurk which is what I do mostly.

Don't you need some sort of license to professionally trap and relocate animals?

If a 12yo needs a permit from the city to open a lemonade stand, I'd think capturing animals for profit would require some sort of registration, licensing and/or permit.

Right? See my beef here is I like the coyotes. They keep the cat and rabbit and other riff raff numbers down and they are just cool anyways.

This guy said the name of his "business" is "Elly Mays Critter Getters". No such beast if you google it. There is Elly Mays Critter Sitters but not Getters. I should narc him out to the feds.

I missed that one.

There was a 'guy' in California that used to use his bow to keep the coyotes in check. I He never got caught!!!

Puss Pelts are all the rage.

The man is a modern-day Jeremiah Johnson.

Leave'em alone.
