16 December 2013. Craigslist ad for hunters to come shoot coyotes/coywolves on his property. This is here in eastern MA. The person that emailed me said that they called the state wildlife people and they said that this ad was perfectly legal. This is absolutely amazing in this day and age. Some of these animals look like wolves too which would be in direct violation of the Endangered Species Act. We desperately need a Carnivore Conservation Act both here in MA and nationally.
