What is Being Done

Removing coyotes from urban areas involves things that can pose health and safety risks to people and their pets, modern animal management focuses on making coyote encountars unpleasent for the coyot, which is a non-lethal control method. This practice attempts to change an animal's behaviour by making it remember what happened the last tiime it did something like that. This method only works if we all respond to coyote encounters aggressively. Methods uch as trapping, snaring, relocating and killing are NOT effective. When you remove coyotes, more coyotes take their place. Some cities are educating the public about coyotes. When you educate, more people become aware of the problem any try to help resolve it. So, not much is being done to remove coyotes by force, that is effective. Instead we all need to make coyote encounters less pleasent for the animal.
