those who think that the presence of coyotes is benign should read the study out of the Hopland Research Center documenting the increase in aggressive behaviors in coyotes in the absence of deterrents. by all means keep your pets inside. also your small children and eventually, we can all stay in so that coyotes can do as they wish. those of you with farm animals, well tough darts i guess.

people who believe that coyotes are a part of the natural ecosystem in the northeast are not technically correct. the coyote is a native of the prairie that has expanded its range nationwide by following the travel corridors built by humans, and in that sense can be considered an invasive species. funny how the wildlife management community wages war on botanical and marine invasives and does nothing about invasive terrestrial predators.

hey where do I get info to join the next march? I'm not a vet of this war but am a veteran nonetheless. This war is ridiculous and Bush lied to the American public!

Aren't these coyotes just trying to manage the overpopulation of humans?

"A little bit of the magic that makes Amherst special is gone. Heartbreaking.'

What's heart-breaking is that you think Amherst is special. But then,

who knows how you're being advantaged by all the criminals running this place. By all the insane calling this crater "unique"...

Yeah, and if Anne Awad claimed she saw a UFO land in South Hadley town center piloted by Elvis, Mr. Weiss would swallow that as well.

Only in South Hadley!

"Wouldn't be surprised if the Select Board and Town Manager were behind this."

No kidding.

Hey Amherst, keep telling yourself how great you are... Idiots.

Gee, what a surprise for Amherst ... imagine misrepresentation of anti-government sentiments in the 4th of July parade. Wouldn't be surprised if the Select Board and Town Manager were behind this.

I don't know which is more disgusting. The BS this woman spews or the number of people that showed up to honor her.

Yeah, and note everything I did--all of it perfectly legal--started AFTER she purchased her "new love nest" (to quote Alan Root) in South Hadley.
