Yes it is funny, but I don't think it is real, and I still love those cartoons - I used to have a couple of disks of them around, maybe they still are. If I find them I will have to watch them again for old times sake.

I think I need to clear up something.
I am from the "Country" and now live in the city. I am not a city person who has moved out to the "country" on the edge of the burbs.
The family farm's three closest neighbors were 100 yards west and the other side of the county highway, 100 yards east at the intersection of two county highways and 1/4 mile on the other side of a valley with large creek. And that was a dense part of the county. Each farm house was surrounded by 100 to 200+ acres of fields and woods in the form of a real working farm. The nearest "city" is Cairo ILL aprx 7-8 miles away as the crow flys, not road miles and it is less than 3,000 population, about the population of Ballard County KY were my hometown of Barlow is located is only 8,200 for the whole county.
1=Family farm-mixed crops (including tobacco) and cattle&hogs
2=nearest other house-former one room school house owned by a carpenter/builder with his work shop and "only"10 acres of woodland for a lot. They had no children.
3=next nearest farm house, a dairy cow and hay operation, one daughter a few years older than me and a friend of my youngest aunt.
4=mixed crop and beef operation, home of a classmate of mine her parents and her older brother and younger brother and sister. The younger brother was my hunting and fishing buddy.

Several local people have seen coyotes around here, and they have no fear of humans. They will often walk toward people. Below is a sign that is both serious and humorous.
That is hilarious! Thanks - I needed the giggle.

Actually, there are also small children in the country, and there are also many small pets out here in the country. Not everyone has a huge dog. Mine is a 60-pounder, and she wouldn’t have a chance against a hungry coyote.
Do you have a good working relationship with Mr Ruger 1022? He is very helpful. His bigger brother, nicknamed Ranch 223 is also very helpful
Or, a crate of Acme Dynomite and a bit of fuse might h3lp

I've had two stupid ones approach my house within rifle distance. It took about three hours for the buzzards to clean up the carcasses.

What some people don't understand about dogs, there are pets that can be very protective of their people and space, the there are working dogs that Are protective of their charges , people and space.
My daughter and family have a 100+A farm and raise a small herd of beef cattle + goats, sheep and chickens, they are protected by four Great Pyrenees and a few beagles and Woe be unto any Coyotes or stray dogs that venture within the vicinity of the stock, usually all you find is a skeleton and fur, but visitors will be greeted by the pack and some of them demand petting
And you WILL pet them Jan 14, 2022 07:55:16 #
I often see signs like that on the internet, and wonder if they are photoshopped.
Anyway, as was said coyotes will take pets. Years ago I lived in San Diego which had a thriving coyote population. Every street corner had a sign for a lost cat or missing toy poodle. It took me a while to put 2 and 2 together.

Hmmm. This says it is from Redwood, CA. I didn't know they warned folks in upper New York.

Jerry, could you re-post that and check the download box? I'd like to copy it and post it on my local neighborhood group page. We've had a coyote roaming during the day (my wife saw it just down our street), so this would be appropo. Thanks Steve

I just happened to be watching Wile E. on tv this morning, so I can fully understand the sign. 🤓
I have lived in the country as well as the city & have never been concerned … except once. I was out in a farm field doing some night photography when I heard some coyotes/wolves howl in the distance. That was okay, until there was an answer from the same field that I was in! I got the H*^^ out of there firing my flash into the dark the whole way!!! 😳🥺😱

Living in Dallas, I needed to go south on I-35 to Austin. Traffic was backed up like crazy so I took I-45 which goes south, but to Houston. I took that a ways to get around the traffic and then found a farm road and went east to hook up with 35 again. I wish I'd had my camera, because I passed a ranch that had about ten coyote skins hanging on the fence. I guess he'd lost too many chickens or other livestock to them.
If you ever get to Texas, drive some of the dirt roads. It's amazing the things that you can see.

Here in Arizona, we have a lot of coyotes, every time I see one I hear a lot of Beeping for some reason.
