His daughter says that they are sometimes doing 35 mph when they get dropped. Then he sends in a "kill dog" to dispatch the coyote when they corner him. Pretty brutal.

Something similar is done with hogs where you have chase dogs and tie up dogs. Usually a couple hounds for the first and a Dane or Dogo Argentina for the tie up.
I don't understand the necessity to drop them from a moving truck though.
