Why were the coyotes 'evil' ?



All they were doing was trying to get some food, did you see how thin Dag was? They were all starving!

But because coyotes like to eat meat, and obviously (unlike the farmyard animals) didnt have all of their food provided, they had to fend for themselves and find their own food in the form of other animals, which is how it works in the animal kingdom.

No one felt sorry for the coyotes?

It's just another example of the odious and insidious culture of Coyotism that pervades Hollywood.
When did we last see a coyote cast in a lead role?
When was a coyote last nominated for an Oscar, never mind winning one?

Coyotes were in this country before the Europeans came, and are now second class citizens in their own country.

Hollywood ALWAYS portrays coyotes as bad guys; look at the negative stereotype of a criminally murderous but unintelligent coyote who always carries weapons - Wile E. Coyote!
Does not the young and impressionable coyote of today deserve a better role model?

I personally favour radical legislation to address this coyotist culture, in the form of a quota system until this obvious and unjust imbalance is rectified.

And, just for the record; no, I am NOT coyote myself, but you don't have to be a coyote to empathise with their struggle.
