	Coyote can be used as "bait" in field coursing.

Field coursing originated in England as a way to train and test hunting dogs—with a live animal as bait. In an historic move, the United Kingdom banned these cruel, unsporting competitions in 2004.

Unfortunately, field coursing remains legal in the majority of U.S. states.

Field coursing has been banned in a number of states:

Arizona Connecticut Florida Idaho Iowa

Kansas Maine Massachusetts Minnesota Oklahoma

Oregon Texas Vermont Wisconsin
