Why on earth would someone introduce coyotes?! Such a resourceful predator does not need to be introduced in an environment, where it can cause extensive havok.

What is going to be really interesting is what will happen this fall and winter, if it didn't happen last year. The old family place up there is on a large bay of the Rappahannock River. When I was a child, it used to get so full of Canada Geese in winter that you could hardly see water for a few hundred feet out from the shore. Those numbers dropped sharply by my teen years. The thing is, the geese nest on the shore. If the coyotes are still around, they could really tear up the nesting grounds further cutting the population of geese.

I think they did it because they are bureacrats. They are getting their orders from so called environmentalists and animal experts who influence the government. However, those "experts" get their money from the government in the form of grants, if not outright salaried positions. To protect their income, and increase it and their influence, they have to keep pressuring and creating justifications for things like releasing coyotes and other animals where they never belonged. When something goes wrong, like all the animals die or the predators cause trouble, well that just needs more government money for research or putting more animals into the area (to die most likely). Such is the poison of government research grants and bureacracy.
