Funny story, I have about 100 head of cattle and one day while in the barn, I heard them raising hell, so I go outside and saw that they had a coyote cornered in the pen, poor little thing was terrified, so I shooed the cows away and allowed it to leave on it's own.
I won't kill an animal unless they're activly raiding my livestock and I figured that this poor little guy was just passing through and just happened to take the wrong path.
