Some animals are sooo misunderstood. All the way from people hating on black cats for no reason, to people not knowing enough and just assuming that dachshunds are terrible pets, to people totally not understanding how loving and awesome orangutans are. Just because an animal is wild and dangerous and because you've heard some scary stories about it, doesn't mean that it's not awesome and adorable and that it doesn't serve a purpose.
Coyotes are one of those animals that people misunderstand. Coyotes are awesome. of course, that doesn't mean that you need to go out there and pet them, no matter how much your animal-loving heart wants to do so. You have to refrain and appreciate their awesomeness from afar through howlarious memes and funny stories.
It seems to us that, for a lot of animals, people base their ideas on scary stories that they've heard. They base their opinion on other people's interactions with these animals, when in reality… not every wild animal is meant to be interacted with. They're not bothering you, don't bother them. Let them live their fabulous lives and love them from afar, where you and them and their reputations are safe.
We want to say that the number of stories we've come across of people rescuing coyotes or wolves thinking that they're dogs worries us, but actually, it doesn't. It gives us hope. Keep rescuing animals, people, you're doing a good thing, and if you do end up accidentally rescuing something that you can't handle, at least you'll have an awesome story to tell.
