Please share my comments..

They want to start killing coyotes in Los Angeles: I understand the problem with the coyotes, but people need to think about the outcome of having more rodents if they start killing the coyotes. Isn’t there another way to protect pets / animals from coyotes? Coyotes are attacking other animals, dogs attack cats, cats attack mice, and so on and so forth!

Jill, no one has mentioned endangered species. What animals living in an urban area are endangered? Yet the civilized thing to do is THINK, not kill.

Let me guess: you live in a midwest state, that has a different view of animals or life, am I right?

Coyotes in the western U.S. are FAR from being endangered. And yes, we should really try NOT to be reactionary….

Dear Donna,

Thank you for being a hero in this post. I am sure the animals at Griffith Park thank you as do we. I am emotionally drained after hearing the news about the killings of the coyotes at Griffith Park.

Being a frequent park visitor,I became used to the familiar faces of the coyotes at Griffith Park and saw them as “hosts” of the park. Many park visitors will agree. Now, knowing they are gone and were killed in a most unnecessary/inhumane fashion, I feel very saddened and angry and I hope that you can find out who ordered these killings.That person or persons NEED TO BE REPRIMANDED.

This was a cruel injustice to the coyotes and it will not solve any problems. I cannot believe as a citizen of the USA, I would ever hear of such barbaric measures taken to eradicate the wildlife of our community parks.

We are all on your side and I am hoping you find the villian who started all this.

Best of luck,Elaine

Thanks, everyone. I’ll try to get a couple of email contacts.

Paul, this has nothing to do with management or overpopulation! That’s absurd. 7 coyotes (and the real number killed is 9 – I’ll have more info tomorrow) isn’t a dent into the big population of the park. This was a RE-action, not a decision by anyone.

Todd, no one values violent little killing machines. That’s why San Bernadino killed 2 dogs in the Avenues roundup yesterday. I don’t value people who kill either, btw.
