What do the donkey, llama and coyote have in common? Oddly, farmers are using more unusual creatures to protect their flocks of sheep from Coyote attack. Free video clip from the BBC

  • @mikenametaken

    A medium to large size male llama can be a serious combatant and many of them have good protective instincts. They can weigh up to 500 pounds. They're agile and reasonably fast. They have 2 claws on each foot and they kick well. The males have sharp fighting teeth back in their mouths that can cut about an inch deep like a razor. They don't just confuse coyotes. They're pretty good at killing them too. :-)

  • The media is freaking out over a pack of wolves roaming in Oregon right now. Conventional sheep ranchers are really stupid. They'll do everything complicated to control coyote populations from poisoning them to shooting from helicopters and waste shitloads of money.

  • So cute!

  • Killing animals just makes me sad like saying no one or thing should be killed the animals are just doing what they normally do don't harm them for that except coyotes but you shouldn't shoot them just for fun I would never think that would be fun that for me is sad:(

  • I really wish more ranchers would use guard animals to protect their livestock instead of trapping, poisoning and shooting coyotes. Coyotes have a place in nature. Without them, rodents would overpopulate everywhere. Rodents are their main food source. I had a pet coyote (here in North Dakota). She had been raised by hand from about 10 days old. One of my coyote-hating neighbors reported us to the game warden who came out and confiscated her and had her euthanized. She was a wonderful pet
