Dear Friend of Wildlife,
Too often, the knee-jerk response to the presence of a predator in our midst is lethal.
Frequently, the killing method is indiscriminate, which means that the victim is not necessarily the intended target. This was the case recently when a family dog was almost strangled by a neck snare set to capture a coyote in the middle of Los Angeles. The snare was set by a pest control firm hired by a homeowners association (HOA) in the city’s Tarzana neighborhood. Thanks to the work of Project Coyote’s Southern California representative Randi Feilich, all of those snares have been pulled and the management of the HOA that ordered their placement is now distributing Project Coyote brochures and information about our Coyote Friendly Communities program throughout that LA neighborhood.
Nearby in Malibu, P-45 – A mountain lion who preyed on livestock was slated to be killed until a public uproar convinced the livestock owner not to pull the trigger.
