Great spirit watch over me
Through the darkness of the night As I go to quell my hunger Guide me with the moon's light I know that I am hated By Man deep within his mind But this world is one of the predator That is how it was designed I ask only to be left in peace So that I may live from day to day And for room to raise my family So they may run and feed and play And when I answer that final lonesome howl As my ancestors who have gone on before I hope that I will meet them At heavens very door I pray that will be the place Where man can live at our side Where the valleys are deep, mountains are high and the spaces are forever wide That then he may finally see That I am his brother and not his foe for only through losing hatred May our spirits ever grow Jack Spirko 11-5-95 SOURCE 1: http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/coyotes/tips/against_killing_coyotes.html?credit=web_id86173716

What does work?Coyotes are here to stay—it's up to us to find ways of coexisting with them. A program combining education in techniques to resolve coyote conflicts and how to discourage coyotes offers the best method for handling and preventing conflicts with coyotes, and is working already in a number of communities. Resources» Coyote Management and Coexistence Plan (PDF) » Solutions for Coyote Conflicts fact sheet (PDF) » Learn more about coyote conflict resolution workshops. » Living with Wild Neighbors in Urban and Suburban Communities: A Guide for Local Leaders (gives elected officials and other decision-makers the tools to implement long-lasting, nonlethal solutions to community wildlife conflicts) » Project Coyote: promoting an educated coexistence between people and coyotes They do NOT work right anymore - there was NO reason to change them - look what happened?
Facebook page & Twitter auto share not working nowThis started this past weekend - when creating a new blog entry and clicking "post" the next screen gave you the option to post to facebook/twitter - but suddenly that function is not working properly and neither choice is available - so blogs are not auto posting (sharing) from weebly to facebook/twitter now which defeats the purpose of it! I changed nothing at all in my settings, but when I tried to refresh them after discovering the malfunction, they still wouldn't appear! I did notice that blogs can now be "scheduled" and that under the "schedule" time, there are the choices to post to facebook/twitter - but only if you "schedule" to post in advance, not "immediate post" - furthermore, when scheduling a post, it does NOT post on time! Why did you do this? Click the links below of information that you may or may not already know!
This is a very short to the point email I just sent out to Senator Dick Durbin, [email protected], and [email protected]
Greetings! I am contacting you in regards to the upcoming Southern Illinois Predator Challenge to be held next weekend (Feb 4th @ 9A.M. to Feb 5th @1P.M.) at the American Legion located at 11720 Longstreet Road, Marion IL 62959. There is no need for this contest as it is not a test of skill, nor is it detrimental to manage the coyotes within that area. This only promotes cruelty to animals as they shoot to kill coyotes (and/or other prey during hunt) to see who kills the heaviest or who kills the most coyotes - and then take a selfie with the dead animal to post on social media for bragging rights! Nothing good will come out of this so we URGE you to put a halt to this contest before it is too late! The following was also sent to Sen. Durbin by Barbara Davis: Senator Durbin: The proposed hunt is ecologically irresponsible, unnecessary, and promotes an attitude unfitting for true hunters. The idiots participating in this kind of endeavor are just killers and should be scorned, not celebrated. Grinning like a fool with a pile of coyote corpses and posting it on Facebook is not indicative of what real hunters do. In fact, it's an embarrassment to anyone who hunts responsibly. I live in a neighboring state - Wisconsin - and fairly close to the state line. I go into Illinois often to shop, vacation in Chicago and other places. If this hunt takes place, I won't spend another dime in your state. Not for gasoline, purchases, vacation at hotels, visiting museums or even going on my annual visit to Springfield for the Lincoln sites. In fact, I will boycott Illinois based businesses, including all restaurants even the most humble fast food franchise. I'll take my disposable income and spend it in Iowa, Minnesota or Michigan. If the money you think you'll get from encouraging a bunch of morons with rifles exceeds what your state earns in tourism, then you need to take a basic math class. This hunt is a perversion. Cancel it and retain some semblance of integrity. This is just 1 of several Coyote killing contests set to take place in Southern Illinois!

Thank you for contacting us regarding this issue. It is crucial to raise public awareness of these barbaric contests in any way possible, and to bring them to the attention of your state policymakers. Here are some suggestions:
