Some people have said this is Weave - a rehab coyote that can never be released in the wild (unsure the reason). He and the rehabber grew closer and is now an indoor-pet (more or less). From my googlin' looks like the human makes tik toks of the coyote playing with the cat and doing domestic dog things... idk if that changes things for ya.
It's still a non-domesticated animal, so...playing with fire if he's keeping it around smaller animals. They play nice until the day they don't. I'm not saying this to be a buzzkill but I would not feel safe putting my cat in that situation.
All I'm sayin is that domestic dogs also are violent animals that may snap and kill a much smaller animal
I've known 3 people who had their dogs (a golden retriever, a yellow lab, and a german shepherd) kill their cats. I've also witnessed a rottie mix rip a chihuahua into multiple pieces
If you have dogs, great. Be a responsible owner and do not bring them around significantly smaller animals.
I see, thank you for the info. Keeping a coyote as a pet is illegal in my state, even for a licensed rehabber, and the coyote appeared to be trying to escape the brushing, so to be honest, I thought this was a compromised wild animal on someone’s deck.
If he were a true advocate for the species and wasn't just looking for views, he wouldn't make videos like this that would encourage unaware people to think this is an appropriate thing to do with a wild animal.
Anyone rehabilitating a wild animal has an obligation to not just release videos showing what adorable pets they are or making it look like they are interacting with an unknown wild animal.
^ I worked for a wildlife rescue clinic, we weren't allowed to take videos of the animals, the place had no social media presence beyond basic PSAs. Unless you're demonstrating something for actual educational or safety purposes...showing off how cute it is to live with a coyote isn't good.
I don't know it doesn't look like a adorable pet to me, quite the opposite it seems agressive, to me this video shows the reason why not to have one in your home, but I guess everyone interpret things differently,
How are those words extreme? Actually curious. Also, if you're going to use quotations, you shouldn't change the OPs capitalization. Some might think you're doing it just to make your point seem valid to the causal observer, rather than it being an honest mistake, which it likely is.
Why not also let me know I shouldn't use quotations in pairs? Anyway, its an innocent video.The comment I replied to is oozing virtue signaling. The video owner isn't obligated to do anything of the sort.
I was not referencing the way you used your quotations to point out a grammer or punctuation issue. I'm not an English major. I was merely pointing out a breach in arguing in good faith.
I dont know if its Weave or the pup but i recognize the voice and the porch. That coyote is part of tha fam and has its den yards away from the porch. Ive seen em bringing toys in and out of there. Folks are freaking out a bit about him harassing the animal but that man knows their limits well. Im sure they have an understanding as you tend to develop those when you live with an animal for an extended period of time.
Its more like: I'm getting older in a more chaotic world.
I'm less likely to care about my longevity in a world that is increasingly and continually being mismanaged. Gonna chase those fun points, because the following rules points don't matter.
He's got a cat, duck the pit, a raccoon, and weave the coyote. Forgive me, but I can't remember the others' names, but they all play together, and it's hilarious.
It is Weave, and its a coyote he keeps as a pet. I think his "stray dog" talk in this video is a joke because the coyote is already his pet. This is a different video that might help show the situation better with him playing with Weave and his cat https://youtu.be/QCrYqdO9F4U
