We have had the "nets" for awhile now...why the sudden upswing in attacks? Ohio police officer was attacked!!
WHAT IS TO BE DONE WHEN HAZING IS A BIG FLOP?!! Help! I have to drive my dog to a food store to go to the bathroom. Or a school where there are lots of kids, people, etc. This really sux |
It's really a shame that these animals are living so close to humans. No fault of theirs, every year they lose more of their natural habitat due to building homes and malls, giving them less grounds for hunting and more encounters with humans. Hazing fails when everyone is not doing it, hazing causes coyotes to be afraid of humans but if only a few are using this method coyotes will not fear humans. There are more and more cases of coyote sightings in urban areas because food is readily available for them. It's very sad that ppl can't use trails in fear of encountering coyotes especially if you have a wee little dog, any dog is at risk of being attack for that matter. Is there a park with flat ground, no brush or hilly area where there are more ppl that you can take your pup to and stay away from the trails.
