The proposed rule would ban the killing of coyotes unless they pose an immediate threat to livestock. Supporters say it is a step forward in how we treat coyotes, but critics call it dangerous.
"We've had coyote attacks, we've had mountain lions," Holloway said.
"My indoor dogs will alert me to things and my reaction is to go out with my gun because I assume coyotes every time," she said.
Currently, coyotes can be killed at any time. The new rule would categorize them alongside bears and mountain lions, requiring a depredation permit, meaning proof that a coyote posed a verified threat.
In Colfax, wildlife rescue director Danielle Hanish sees it differently.
While she also worries about her animals, Hanish believes in non-lethal protection methods and that coyotes should not be killed indiscriminately or for sport.
The proposal had been briefly paused following public backlash, but it's back on the table. The Department of Fish and Wildlife will revisit the rule at a public meeting scheduled for May 15.
