Did you expect anything less from CBC news?....lol
Only remedy is to trap and terminate or a lead pill between the ears.
Too many coyotes and they have loss fear of man.
Nuisance animals need to be dealt with regardless whether it is a mouse, rat, squirrel....etc.
A fed animal is a dead animal. People using parks and green spaces who think someone else will clean up the garbage need educating. Can you just imagine if Coyotes were suddenly replaced by 300lb. Black Bears? I'd almost pay money to see that.
Yup, even rural communities are having a hard time taking appropriate action with nuisance animals. The mayor in Grenville-sur-la-Rouge received death threats when he mentioned that they would have to kill beavers and remove the dams that are flooding roads and farmland. The pushback from the general population who are not affected directly is getting out of hand. Not sure they understand the cost to repair the roads that are washed out.Quote:

John TORY has the answer he wants to tranquilize the coyotes that are causing problems and re locate them. LOL
The ticket was issued after the couple received a warning to stop feeding the rodents.
“Individuals found to be in contravention of the animal control bylaw face fines for intentionally feeding wildlife,” said a statement issued Monday by the City of Vaughan.
Like many people who feed squirrels, chipmunks, feral cats or birds, the ticketed husband and wife were surprised to be punished for something they view as a “kindness.” They had named the squirrel they were feeding as if it was a pet.
But the city’s statement cautioned there are “unintended consequences” to feeding any wildlife, even squirrels, as that leads to encounters with animals such as coyotes and is “the primary cause of human/wildlife conflict.”

Wonderful! Let's take them all to his house. Watch the look on his face when his sphincter puckers. LOLQuote:

Interesting video. I've also used "aversion therapy" when dealing with aggressive or encroaching coyotes. It involves a loud noise. It's very successful. I haven't had one come back yet.
I wonder to where he wants to relocate them? Maybe another section of Toronto? :)

That's why old Wile E Coyote couldn't catch the roadrunner, he was hammered all the time!
I recall a number of years back that the MNRF suggested that the only real effective way to deal with a burdensome coyote population was with some type of germ warfare. Live trapping them and carting them elsewhere is ineffective they are quite capable of navigating back to their home range. Culling them through hunts has a marginal effect encouraging breeding pairs lower down in the population hierarchy to takeover where the killed off ones have been removed. Apparently a disease like mange has a better effect as it spreading from one end of the population to the other. It's puzzling to me in areas where they are having problems with coyotes, why they don't introduce a mange infection into a few coyotes and release them back into the general population in order to spread the disease through out the full range of the population. It maybe that domesticated pets would be susceptible to it, so that would create something of a risk. .
You don't stop hunting because you grow old. You grow old because you stop hunting.
