AR-News: (US-oh)Pol wants price on coyotes' head

[Animalconcerns]

[from Athens News]

State Rep. Jimmy Stewart, R-Athens, late last week introduced legislation
that would put a $50 bounty on coyotes killed in the state of Ohio.

"I've heard from a number of farmers in my district about this issue,"
Stewart said in a news release. "Most folks don't think about coyotes
living here in Ohio; they think they only roam out West. The fact of the
matter is that they're right here among us and they're preying on animals
right here in our own backyards."

According to Stewart's news release, House Bill 444 takes steps that would
help "minimize" the population of coyotes "that are causing thousands of
dollars worth of damages to local farms" by offering a $50 bounty for
every coyote killed.
