When will people (as a whole) learn to coexist with wildlife? If it's not seals or cormorants, geese, snakes, alligators (people are actually surprised when they become a "problem" when they build ther expensive homes into their territory), deer, bears, wolves, cougars, it's my favorite wild animal, coyotes.
Removing the coyote will definately bring more in, just as it's been shown that killing feral cats is not the answer. Some very informative coyote sites:
http://www.easterncoyoteresearch.org
http://www.coyoterescue.org
http://coyoteinfo.typepad.com/my_weblog/ (contains some very sad, graphic images of coyote abuse that would not be tolerated if it was something "cute" like a Golden Retriever or a kitten)
Seems Hamilton's animal control is much more educated on coyotes.
I sent them an email with the links to these websites and they emailed me back with an pamphlet that they will be giving to Hamiltonians on how to coexist with coyotes. Here's hoping Toronto will do the same.
