Goodbye, Sweet Nibsy...

Yes it's a problem here, and people are largely to blame. They are excited about seeing them, which I understand, but they are naive and let their (larger) dog "play" with them, or they feed them. That ends up in trouble. I always yell and throw rocks to keep them afraid of humans. When I first for my goats I had to board them for a few months at this woman's place about an hour from here. She was paranoid of predators so the goat pens were completely enclosed (for good reason, there are a lot of cougars) - BUT... she was FEEDING a pack of coyotes!!! They would come every day, about 25 feet from her. She'd put dog food out for them. Idiot.

Thanks for reminding me. I used to carry pepper spray out in that field with me all the time, more in case of a random dog or person than anything. Kind of slacked off on that. Think I'll start again.
