Yesterday morning I posted a story about a woman attacked by coyotes, and a man attacked by coyotes, both in the Denver area. A few hours later while at The Outdoor Pressroom I read the article about the kids in Iowa.
So, I did a google search on coyotes. The links below are just some of the stories and are only from the last three weeks.
It appears our urban friends are being introduced to wildlife. Adults and children are attacked and pets are killed. It's interesting to note the public's reaction and the elected officials actions (killing coyotes.) Perhaps the urbanites will reconsider their support for predators in rural areas, which is having similar impacts on rural families. One big difference is the livelihood of the rural folks is also threatened.

I think as people are changing forests into urban areas the wildlife living in the forest has no place to go so they invade the urban areas were people live and cause damage to human life. I think the forest officials must try capturing the coyotes.
I think we must hired liberals to catch the coyotes. Have the coyotes go through anrgy management training. You know watch Disney and learn not to attack people then let them go.
Funny we are moving out in coyote area that is why they are attacking. LOL clueless people like that have no business sticking their nose in wildlife management. Hello there is too many coyotes the surplus moves into the city. You need hunting and trapping of coyotes to help keep their numbers in balance with the land.
