I'll shoot the occasional coyote because we're in competition for quail. Otherwise, not being in the pet/poultry bidness, they don't really bother my world.

Coons are fun to play with. They like hen scratch, and birdseed from my hanging feeder. I occasionally have one on my porch, in a vulnerable position. They get very upset when I poke them in the ribs, and my raucous laughter doesn't help their emotional condition even a little bit.
