>A century ago, both coyotes and wolves were kept in check by humans

Annihilated the population, FTFY.

>As things stand now, we're going to have coyotes and wolves everywhere. They will be in city parks, eating the garbage and pigeons and raccoons. City dwellers don't normally shoot predators; it would be weird and would likely result in an arrest. Small and frail people (children included) won't be safe alone, as they had been for a couple centuries.

Not likely. You forget about Animal Control? And if populations ever were to become a problem you think city dwellers are too helpless and stupid to do anything about it? Like increase the animal control budget...

Your lack of imagination doesn't project onto reality very well I'mm sorry to say.
