Operation Wile E.

I was reading something over the weekend and got an idea. What if the late 1980's the U.S. department of Agriculture managed to convince Reagon that the only way that the U.S. can really compete on the internation stage with its livestock is to purposely introduce its worse pest, the coyote.

So starting in the 1980's several thousand Coyotes are introduced in Australia, New Zealand, Southern Africa, the USSR, China, Vietnam, North Korea and both sides of the Iron Currtent in Europe, including the U.K. and Ireland, and South America.

How long do the coyotes last, what damage do they do, and what is the global reaction to this?

I think the Acme crates are going to give the game away.:p

Plus, how do you plan to get them past Customs? Diplomatic bag?
 
ROFLMAO!

:D:D:D
Being a city boy, coyotes don't strike me as ferocious devourers of livestock that say, wolves might be.
I could be dead wrong on this, but the Aussies might jump for joy that you introduced something that might help nibble down the rabbit plague that could survive outback conditions.
New Zealand, meh, the coyotes could survive (IDK if NZ has enough rodents and other prey to sustain them, though they'd scavenge anywhere even in especially in urban areas) but if the ranchers considered them a serious threat they'd eradicate them in a few weeks of shooting.

The UK has enough prey populations to sustain them in the wild, but a quite well-established fox hunting tradition to keep them down if they felt it necessary, animal rights be damned.

You wouldn't notice coyotes in S Africa between lions, leopards, jackals, and numerous other predators already on the veldt.

Russia would laugh and say seriously, America, you think coyotes would bother us between taiga wolves, Siberian tigers and snow leopards and so on!

Trust me, coyotes are far, far worse. The thing is, they're survivors. Wolves and mountain lions? Well, they were hunted near extinction in the wild in most of the US. Coyotes though? They've proven to be like cockroaches - impossible to really stamp out. "Ranchers would eradicate them in a few weeks"? US farmers, ranchers, and animal control/wildlife offices have been trying to wipe them out for literally decades, without success. Their range and numbers have actually increased. So yes, I would imagine that as invasive species go, the extremely adaptable coyote would be a major threat. They've increasingly taken the place of wolves in the US, and have grown bigger, and routinely take down deer, caribou, and cattle in packs. They have a vast range, and can flourish in both arctic and desert climates.
 
The only silver lining is their propensity for raiding trash which means they are less likely to be a problem where there is easy access to garbage; other than that speaking as someone who grew up in Southern California where they are VERY much at home those fuckers are nearly impossible to wipe out. The worst part is unlike other predators they've mostly gotten over the instinctive fear of humans and all things related to humans. This picture really sums that part up better than anything else could:

Yes, he is IN the drink display case.
