Healthy sled dogs culled

OK, I know sled dogs, like hunting dogs, are not household pets and are closer to wolves than Paris Hilton's chihuahua.
Still, an incident of 100 healthy dogs being culled when business dried up for a dogsled tour company in British Columbia is hard to take.
No wonder the employee who was ordered to do the shooting needed counselling.

German shepherd chases coyote away

Are aggressive coyotes becoming a problem? Stories like this one posted by CBC makes one think so.
A man escaped being seriously bitten because he was wearing a bulky winter coat and because a passerby walking a German shepherd happened by. The German shepherd was unleashed and chased the coyote away.
We have a family member who owns a rural property north of London where coyotes are routinely spotted when a runway meets a woodlot. The concern is that the pack coyotes will lure one of our extended family's off-leash dogs into the woods and attack.
Hunting, anyone?
