Re: [OT] Toronto pets - and toddlers - at risk from aggressive coyotes

I was surprised to learn that aggressive coyotes have been seen - and
caught on camera - trying to take away small dogs and even young children.

Residents are deeply frustrated by Toronto City Council's response to
the problem, which seems to be trying to train the coyote's to be more
afraid of humans, which Council claims is working. Residents disagree.
Council is also consulting a trapper - I wonder where they found one; I
thought that profession was limited to the Far North at this point - to
see what he thinks should be done.

Toronto has had problems with raccoons for many years and I remember
seeing foxes and skunks near my office when I worked in Toronto but
hadn't heard of a coyote issue.
