The Sad But True Pictures Thread

Someone better tell the DNR.

"Coyotes are native to Indiana, although they were once limited to the prairie regions of western Indiana."
My part of Indiana has no prairie, so here they are invasive exotics , occupying the niche once occupied by wolves.
And having a permanent open season without permits required is a strange way to manage a well-adjusted "native" animal. Almost like they want to extirpate it.

I have a family of feral cats that planted itself in my garage. I've started capturing them for TNR (trap, neuter, release). There are laws, regulations, and requirements if you support them. For example, I have to keep medical records on them for any veterinary work I have done. TNR is not simply getting their plumbing monkeyed with. They have any parasites removed, a three year rabies shot, whatever others are required, general checkup, a bath and flea repellent applied. They come back healthy if not happy. The left ear is clipped so you can see the cat has been tended to. It is required that they be released in their home location.

One of them had a litter of three kittens this spring, and I'm going to domesticate those to be adopted out. I've already picked one of them up and pet it. The older ones are too wild. I plan to build a shelter for them, and get them out of the garage. Between the squirrels and the cats, much damage has been done. The shelter will include the capability to capture, so I can finish off the TNR. I feed them, but not quite enough to keep them full, so they earn their keep suppressing the rodents. I've had to move my bird feeders; I watched Enfield jump off the deck rail and take a bird straight off the feeder. Amazing hit, but I don't want to encourage that Yes, they have names. The form at the spay/neuter clinic requires one, and I can specify which one I'm talking about instead of just saying "the black one" (they're all black).

To be fair, I don't compare particularly well to Cary Grant.

But, the gulf may be a LOT more narrow.

True. I much prefer the stylings of Cary Grant in N by NW over the tacticool beard, tattoo and T shirt look of today, but both are far , far from the soi boi in the photo.
