I can get that they go into some kind of shock when a human is that close, or touches them. I wouldn't know, never tried it. I released several domestic dogs from yote sets and not one of them ever went nuts. One was a big german shepard. Glad he and I had an understanding about the situation.
Never heard of this running dogs on trapped yotes thing. Sounds kind of inhumane. I guess to each there own, I don't want any part of it.
