Rammy's Ramblings

[greybeard]

I like the part about "person in control of the dog or coyote". First, who has control over a coyote?

People who have owned (or tried to) & make pets of them. Texas law says a registration form has to be filled out for keeping any "dangerous wild animals' on the official list and a coyote is on that list. (Also requires inspection of site and liability insurance) I'm quite sure everyone does exactly as the law says...........
TEX. HEALTH & SAFETY CODE ANN. § 822.101-116
(4) “Dangerous wild animal” means:

(A) a lion;
(B) a tiger;
(C) an ocelot;
(D) a cougar;
(E) a leopard;
(F) a cheetah;
G) a jaguar;
(H) a bobcat;
(I) a lynx;
J) a serval;
K) a caracal;

(M) a bear;
(N) a coyote;
(O) a jackal;
(P) a baboon;
(Q) a chimpanzee;

Are there no wolves in Texas? None on that dangerous wild animal list. Just curious.

Not officially. They were shot out years ago. I can remember on the corner of Westheimer and Texas Highway 6, there being a huge oak tree where they used to hang coyotes-minus their ears (taken for proof to claim the bounty on them). That corner now is host to the usual urban sprawl and I think Westheimer might be 8 lanes. Busy corner.

Miss @Rammy,

I hope they figure out what is ailing your mom and that she gets to feeling better.

None in Texas officially. The Red Wolf packs were all gathered up from their last known stronghold...extreme East Texas in the 70s, sent out of state, and into a breeding program in order to save the species from being killed or genetically invaded by coyote blood. The offspring and product of that breeding program was re-introduced.......in North Carolina.

There are (officially) no Mexican Grey wolves in Texas either.

Apparently not, but I guess they must have large native populations of
jackal;
baboon;
chimpanzee;
orangutan;
gorilla

I'm quite sure everyone does exactly as the law says...........

Oh yes, I am SURE they do

help me Dear Lord, I just can't help myself...….

Yes, we do! And they are in favor of open borders, abolishing ICE and legalizing opiate drugs.

I believe it stems from Red wolves being on the US endangered species list and the others not on that US list.

(True Native Texans will soon be on that list)

Then they will have to change the laws that say you can protect yourself with deadly force .... but only if the threat is a native Texan.
