“…Wildlife management is really a misnomer. It’s about managing people. In a lot of the ways the animals are easy. We know the biology. You kind of know what makes them tick. We know the number of coyotes we’d have to remove in order to get rid of them for instance. We know that we’re not gonna be able to get there. What wildlife managers have to do is walk that tightrope between the two.” - Living with Coyotes (2017)

There’s a section (8:50) about a raid at the Millville Predator Research Facility organized by the Animal Liberation Front where they set fire to a building as a distraction to release the research animals. The action was part of the ALF’s “Operation Bite Back,” which targeted a half-dozen wildlife operations in the early-1990s. Many of the coyotes that were released wandered into the enclosures of other coyotes and fought each other. Consequently, many of the research animals had to be put down due to severe injuries.
