Unlike large cats that can break or bite through their prey's neck and kill by suffocation or strangulation, wild canines do not have this ability and kill their prey by literally tearing it apart while it is still alive. An effective approach successfully employed in the past to control predators that prey on deer would be to reclassify mountain lions from a big game species to a predator and offer a bounty on coyotes. Ed. note: This fawn has its eyes open and ears up. It is literally being eaten alive!!
