Researchers examine aggressive coyote attacks :)

I wonder to where he wants to relocate them? Maybe another section of Toronto?

I don't know but I think they are great here in Mississauga as they clean up the "outdoor cats". Have not had a bad smell in my flower beds in years.LOL

We have several families of Fishers that have made a home around our neck of the woods that are doing a stellar job with the 4-legged garden crappers. Having a reputation as nasty little buggers,even Coyotes won't mess with them.

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.
