In Texas that would be a dead coyote the lady would've pulled her EDC and taken care of business meanwhile in Canada they throw tennis balls to train them.

The coyote didn't come up to her for food; it went straight after the dog. The dog that sounds like a wounded rabbit and is about the same size. When the Coyotes in Stanley Park were habituated to bring fed by people they started biting people, not dogs. Euthanize that coyotes, but don't lie to people.

Yup some pets are just prey size and when coyotes live in cities they have been preying on cats and small dogs for generations.

Coyotes are more important than taxpayers’ pets. Bloody hell we live in an upside down world.

I don't understand why more people don't carry dog spray, easily available and effective ? Crappy tire sells it.

Good thing that dog was on a leash. The yote would have been a mile away in no time.
And we also feed our coyotes in the county...lead. They don’t tend to come back for 2nds.

Coyotes just doing what they do. Nothing disturbing or abnormal about that. Most of the population is insulated from reality - but that is normal coyote behavior - not abnormal IMO.
Later on in the article:
"Two adult coyotes were lethally managed"
Good grief.... I can't believe that is what journalism has come to.

I discreetly carry my bear spray when we’re out walking our more natural areas in the city. We always see coyotes out walking the river valley etc. Only one was reluctant to move on but did so once I picked up a stick and hollered at it.

Coyotes are running in 4 packs at times in my hood. 2 for sure most times. I live beside an industrial park that borders the edge of the city so no shortages of yotes. Yet the news carts out this "expert" every time who advises the city to use tennis balls etc. How she got that grant to be an expert is beyond me.
Paintball guns and lots of ammo will deter these yotes faster than tennis balls and yelling at them and maybe put the fear of humans back in. Plus it will be easy to see the repeat offenders lol. And who would feed them, oh ya, I live in Redmonton where every animals life matters.
Can also carry any wasp/bug spray that shoots out a foot during the summer. I'm sure that would sting a yotes eyes enough to deter them. Don't have to sign a waiver to buy it either.

This is what happens when some half wit with a degree but zero for common sense decides policy. Society on the whole is in for a rough ride. Thumb suckers every where.

If I lived in town, it would be a tough call for me which I'd prefer, coyotes or neighbour's cats and dogs running around crapping in my yard.

No kidding, especially if I was walking my dog in the river valley.
I see them once a month on my front street, close the WalMart on 127 St.
Neighbor's had a few cats go missing recently, pretty sure they ended up Yote food.. Used to have a lot of rabbits around too, not so much anymore since the dogs (Yotes) moved in, they appear to be very well fed.

Yeah I live just above Mill Creek there is never a week without a missing cat or dog poster on the light posts.
Honestly, who really gives a damn about coyotes. Just wipe them out in urban areas. The urbanites are so soft about animals it’s going to take poor little kid getting attacked for the City to do the obvious.

I called the city once about 4 years ago to report a pack of 5 coyotes roaming the neighborhood.
They told me to just give them their space and did nothing.
The next time I saw 3 coyotes cruising together instead of coyotes, I reported 3 domestic dogs with collars on. Bylaw and Animal Control were there in 15 minutes. The thought of being able to hand out some fines had them salivating me thinks.
No money in getting rid of coyotes, so they don't care.

I live near the U of A in McKernan and coyotes are all over the place here. Yet I still see people letting their cats roam free day and night. Then they wonder where Mittens went. I have two cat and neither are allowed out alone. One doesn't ever wanna go out and the other goes for walks on a leash with me carrying pepper spray and a knife.
Tonight while coming home from the hockey game (Go Oilers!) my wife pointed out a coyote casually walking down the middle of the street about half a block away from my house. I came soooo close to running it over but it got away. I'm tempted to hang out in my backyard with my crossbow and leave the gate open one night. Used to shoot so many of them on the farm in Saskatchewan.
Had a neighbor try to argue with me that "they deserve to be here as much as we do and that we stole their land". I had to inform her that they were never in this neighborhood. McKernan used to be a lake.

I used to carry a slingshot and ball bearings when running my dog in a field in the city, but even getting hit with a ball bearing doesn't deter them for long. I ended up getting permission to hunt coyotes across the road, outside of city limits, and I shot five the first day. Over the past few years, I have killed another ten or so, and I rarely see a coyote in that field now, compared to seeing them almost every day, before I started hunting them.

That's the thing, it'll take more negative experiences by the public before the authorities get the social license to be more proactive about it.

^This prevailing mentality is a large part of the issue. A lot of urban dwellers are so removed from the real word and common sense required to navigate it they've just gone full retard with their emotionally driven ideologies.
