Those coyotes were noisy and quick!

We're a family that got sick and tired of having the place shredded and shit on by a "domestic animal". We had another cat and still have who didn't insist on emancipation.

With all due respect, some people simply lack the temperament to keep any but the most simple and trouble-free pets. There's nothing wrong being one of those people until you take on a pet with needs beyond your abilities.

You have two simple and humane choices in such a situation: Either adapt or give the animal to someone who will not be overwhelmed by the obligation.

Choosing to make the animal's life painful and brief is not an appropriate choice.
