American Expansion

As Americas expanded across the open plains of the Unites States this expansion had an unforeseen consequence. Animals native to certain parts of the US used the new roads and bridges created to expand themselves into new parts of the US. As predator animals were hunted down almost to the point of extinction, these animals were able to breed and survive with out the natural population reductions they had been subject to previously. The issues involved with animals under the protection of the Endangered species acts and other animals under protection statuses can be be debated ad nasium. The point is that a crisis situation is building with the current coyote population in the New England area. While the situation is still contained and has not become a major problem at this time in a few years I doubt the same can be said. The time for a plan for sensible population control of these animals is now. I do not claim to have a answer of even a hit of a plan for a control solution but I can state the time to start paying attention is know.
