Excuses, Excuses

A Wyoming man is apologizing for tossing, kicking and stabbing a coyote in a controversial video that went viral last week.
Aron Snyder posted a video statement on social media over the weekend in which he says the coyote video was taken in Texas in 2019 or 2020.
He said that he finished off the wounded coyote with a knife because he didn’t have a firearm with him at the time. He also admits that the video is “a very bad optic.”
No. It’s not a “very bad optic.” Optics has nothing whatsoever to do with anything.
I don’t believe him. Here’s why. He apparently had enough gun to shoot the Coyote to begin with. Then he expects me to believe he suddenly lost his firearm?
A man who will do this to an animal will do it to a human.

I dislike coyotes more than most, having grown up on ranches and seeing how devastating they can be to livestock. I’ve shot them on sight more than once, but dang if I would ever torment and torture one before killing it. I have no use for anyone who would, and would happily wield the bullwhip that sets their mind right for clean, ethical kills on animals.
