A Maryland resident could face charges after keeping a coyote as a pet, police said.
It is illegal to own a coyote in Maryland. Authorities were called around 8 a.m. Wednesday for a report that a coyote was “running loose with a leash,” a press release from the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office reads. Animal control officers were able to catch the coyote, which was wearing a collar, “indicating it was someone’s pet.” “Due to the possible exposure of rabies from the coyote, it was humanely euthanized and sent to the state lab in Baltimore for testing,” the press release explained.

Shouldn't be illegal, but its a pretty stupid move. Even if you get one as a pup they start to get nutty when they grow up.

The animal has obviously been living with someone for a while and they think it might have rabies?

They are a little too free with their acme supplied explosives to safely live around people. No body wants to be picking bird house shards out of their children after a coyote decides to pour nitroglycerin on some bird seed again. |

Illegal, etc...
But the cops pussed out by saying "It could contract rabies" as a reason for killing it. ANY mammal kept as a pet could contract rabies. By that standard, they should be shooting everyones' dogs because they MIGHT contract a disease. Just say "You're not allowed to have this pet, and it is not scared of people so we're going to euthanize it." Don't be a wuss. |

When we lived out in the country back in the early 90s my Ex and I had a pet coyote, got it as a tiny pup. It was one of the best dogs I ever had, with some exceptions. It killed my favorite cat right in front of me, took him about 1 second. We had pet rabbits in cages in the barn, they didn't last long. He did get get along with our other dogs (wolf mixes) fairly well but when we did have a rare food aggression problem it got pretty crazy.

He shot one and when he got to it he found two pups. He also had a vet who was a friend. He kept them in a large kennel until they got big enough to take care of themselves. He handled and played with them daily. The first instant he opened the gate they took off without even looking back. Gone forever. |

Knew a fellow who raised coyotes when they were pups. He'd go to KFC and get their throwaways to feed them. When he wanted to assemble them, he'd sit there and howl and one by one, they'd show up and join in the chorus. Their raids on neighbors' chickens and other game compelled him to euthanize them.

They are never fully domesticated. Mine was 100% around children though. Except when she fought other female dogs of course.  But even with food children were completely safe around here. In fact, children could not be physically disciplined around her or she would nut up.
Amazing animal to spend time with, but she was dangerous, and a lot of responsibility. |
