Understands hunting, but dislikes seeing kill 'Coyotes should be thinned out,' writer says, but doesn't understand why anyone would want to kill bobcats. 'They are such beautiful creatures,' she says. Comments re article 41079 Prefers bobcats and coyotes alive on her farm By Patty Bunch Coyotes are becoming so thick in the rural parts of the county, it is dangerous for small family pets. I went to the back door of my basement to let my miniature poodle out to potty and a coyotes was right at my back door. Needless to say, I am very careful to make sure the yard is safe before I let my dog out. My husband has fenced the yard in to try to keep bigger wild animals out.

I know lots of people love to hunt and I don't have a problem with that; killing animals is necessary if we are to enjoy a meal with meat, but I don't enjoy watching the kill.

They are such beautiful creatures and harmless to livestock as far as I know, I don't know why anyone would desire to kill one of these beautiful cats.

As for the legality of hunting and trapping, there are seasons in Kentucky and many other states when the animals can be hunted. You can follow the number of bobcats taken by hunting and trapping at the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Bobcat Telecheck results On December 10, 2010, the total for the seven county area for the current season was as follows:
