Well, I'm certainly one that can hate if I wanted to. I've lost inumerable amounts of upland game, turkey and a fair number of deer to this ultimate predator. For me, it's economic. I need those game animals to make a buck. But I have to remember one thing, the land that we have, whether owned or leased, has been the coyotes territory for (forgive me if I'm off a few years)thousands of years. We've burned his habitat, plowed his habitat, built on his habitat, trashed his habitat, eradiated his habitat, killed his young, killed his prey....I mean....we've really done a number on him! But the ol' coyote persists...day after day, adapting to what is forced upon him.
So after all the losses, the lost deniros, I have to say Mr. Coyote deserves our respect. It's a survivor. I respect survivors, no matter whether they're human or animal. It's a skilled predator worthy of everyones respect.
My 2cents worth... 
My speeling reeks!
