    OMG, this is hilarious!


    On a sad note....I was picking up Isabella from daycare yesterday and the owner asked if she could have a dog biscuit.. or was she still eating that weird diet?
    How sad is it that a whole, fresh, species appropriate diet is considered weird -and kibble is normal?

    Based on the fact they all ate them, I think they are a vital part to human nutrition. Makes sense, right?

    The dog we look after quite a bit, English cocker, does this also. It's a PAIN cause she'll go through my hamper.

    While it may be true that coyotes in captivity stay healthier than those in the wild, you can't attribute that to just kibble without taking into consideration things like diseases, the elements, injuries, infection, etc. Unless there were a way to conduct a study where each one of those risk factors were individually ruled out as a contributor to their state of health, you can still only prove a correlation at best.

    These coyotes who eat from a feeder instead of hunt, are they born and raised in captivity? If they have kibble available since birth, they would never need to hunt, or would perhaps never have learned. I have deli meats and frozen food in my refrigerator...I will eat this because it's more readily available than raising my own chickens or growing a garden

    Of course they may be healthier. I am sure a great many coyotes die from starvation. Starvation not only kills directly, it also lowers the immune system, makes the animal weaker etc. A weak animal easily gets infections.

    Hmmmm wonder why the coyotes would be slaughtering all our sheep if we didn't bring them into the lot by the house every night then....
