$1000 bounty on coyotes in South Carolina

The Issue

A proposed bill in South Carolina (H.4943) will offer a $1000 bounty on 12 tagged coyotes for no reason other than to encourage more hunters to kill coyotes.

http://www.thestate.com/news/politics-government/politics-columns-blogs/the-buzz/article62066732.html

There are several other nonlethal options that are far more successful at discouraging predators such as coyotes from targeting domestic animals. Further, having coyotes in your area is an asset to the ecosystem. They are an excellent source of free labor. Areas which support coyotes and other predators are more likely to thrive.
