Yes once in a rare blue moon one may kill livestock but the overwhelming majority of livestock, and domestic pets, are not killed by coyotes.

Killing them disrupts their social structures and can even lead to increased populations. Coyotes are intelligent, adaptive animals that thrive in various environments, and efforts to exterminate them have largely failed. | |||
