Living just at the edge of town, Janice Gibson has had seven cats killed now by coyotes. She's not the only one. Several others have reported their small pets missing -- and one rancher says a pack of wild coyotes killed a 350 pound calf. A local vet says people shouldn't panic, but they should take a few steps to protect themselves. Keep trash and pet food up and don't let your pets out at night. Steps Janice is now taking too - in hopes that the coyotes won't come back. As of tonight, three of the coyotes have been killed, but reports of several others around town are still coming in.

Issues of concern to people who live in the west: property rights, water rights, endangered species, livestock grazing, energy production, wilderness and western agriculture. Plus a few items on western history, western literature and the sport of rodeo... Frank DuBois served as the NM Secretary of Agriculture from 1988 to 2003. DuBois is a former legislative assistant to a U.S. Senator, a Deputy Assistant Secretary of Interior, and is the founder of the DuBois Rodeo Scholarship.
