Coyote Mutilating contest in Wyoming
The annual “hunt,” which in no way resembles any form of ethical hunting, consists almost entirely of troglodytes on snowmobiles who indiscriminately shoot and/or run down and run over living animals. The main victims, of course, are coyotes, which are considered by some heavy thinkers to be the reincarnation of the devil himself. Apparently, these people have no remorse nor give a flicker of thought to the violence they are inflicting upon these intelligent creatures. And this mindlessness occurs at this time of year, mid winter, when these animals are living on the edge of survival.
Hunting is one thing but to run animals down with a machine that can travel over the snow at 80 mph is sick. This killing contest is a showcase for the most vicious predator on the planet, the two-legged variety, waging war on a competing predator.
Participants in this contest who account for the most dead and mutilated coyotes win a free case of beer or some other fabulous reward that is worth killing for. It is difficult for me to imagine what kind of human could participate in this madness and regard it as fun.
