Actually, I was thinking of coyotes' eating pet cats and (at least not
too big) dogs but I suppose an unattended infant might be at risk as
well.

BTW, bobcats might work just as well; but they pop up on Nextdoor a

Or wolves for the coyotes or cougars for the bobcats.

But that's just kicking the can down the road, in the long run.
