Coyotes Create Chaos In City Coyotes have been an issue in Southern California for decades now, specifically in the city of La Habra. An uprise in coyote attacks over the last few years has finally brought the attention of the city council. Coyotes going into residential areas and attacking pets is becoming more common. La Habra pet owners are leaving pet food and garbage outside at night which tends to attract the coyotes into residential areas. In order to stop coyotes from coming into residential areas and the attacks on pets, any food source the coyotes might want should be kept indoors along with the actual pet itself. Coyotes are not just a problem in La Habra, but most if not all of Southern California, and they can affect anyone, …show more content…
Coyotes are attracted to food, shelter, and free roaming pets. In the article “Why is there a coyote in my backyard” states coyotes are attracted to any type of food or water left out, fallen fruit from trees, and garbage from garbage cans (“Why, Is There”).

Coyotes return to homes because they have got use to finding food daily.

They also state garbage cans should be kept tightly closed and make sure they are not tippable. Remove any source of food and water such as peed food, fallen tree fruit, or bird feeders (“Keep”). Pet owners need to keep pets inside during the night, they also need to take any other things the coyotes might want to eat. Coyotes have got so use to there being food in residential areas, that they know exactly where to go back and get more. Once the coyotes are use to there being no more food were they expect food to be, they will stop showing up and therefore the attacks will stop.

In the article “Coyote Hazing: Guidelines for Discouraging Neighborhood Coyotes” defines hazing as “a method that makes use of deterrents to move an animal out of an area or discourage an undesirable behavior or activity”. They state some methods of hazing include yelling and waving your arms, making loud noise, or

As California tries to deal with the loss of an entire race, the remaining folks come up with some great reasons for the Mexicans' disappearance. Some say that the sombrero is shaped like a UFO for a reason {wink!}. Others believe it's a form of the rapture, and the apocalypse is upon us. Still others believe that it is because the other races didn't appreciate the Mexicans and so they just up and left. Regardless of the reason (true or not) the effect is felt throughout the State. Anglos and other nationalities turn to looting and diving into black-market fruits and vegies in
One threat to the Mojave Desert today is off-road vehicles. These vehicles end up causing damage to wildlife and cultural resources. Unfortunately when these vehicles are driven throughout areas such as Johnson Valley, they cause damage the wildlife on the protected land. These off-road vehicles are driven recklessly and for the most part the driver will not stop. Consequently, the plant or animal that was in the way of the drivers course is crushed and dies. When this happens in areas like this, the while entire environment can be affected. One single plant or animal killed by an off-road vehicle starts begins a chain reaction of resource loss. These off-road vehicles are actually churning up the soil and this causes damage to the plant roots

This, in turn, forces people to go deeper into the dessert. To do this, the author explains that people use coyotes or hired guides and are often put in more dangerous situations. It is easy to develop a counter argument to this point, though I agree with the author. One could just say that the United States should not be concerned with the safety of the people crossing the border, since they are doing it illegally. The author uses quotes from people who have made the trip or have firsthand experience.
However 95% of crimes in Los Angeles are caused by illegal immigrants. Giving these illegal immigrants path to citizenship would mean that they would be able to posses dangerous weapons since not having a record because they are not legal citizens. The Arizona law puts an end to the crime in los Angeles by deporting all the illegals. The streets and the towns would be a lot safer if the Arizona state law were put in play. This reason is why i think Illegal immigration is

Arizona, which is perhaps most known for the mile-deep chasm within the state called the Grand Canyon, is located in the southwestern part of the United States, bordering Mexico. This state’s terrain is made up of dry plains, mountain ranges, deserts and forests. Arizona’s location makes it susceptible to drug trafficking from Mexico. Arizona is ranked second, beyond Texas only, when it comes to the total amount of seized illicit drugs.

The fragile ecological existence of the U.S. Southwest is complicated by the presence of endangered migratory species who naturally move across our borders, including gray wolves and jaguars. The terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 entrenched social rules regarding immigration and border security installed through the Illegal Immigration Act and Immigrant Responsibility Act. This and the Real ID Act allow border patrol to further diminish chances of survival for endangered species, by granting waivers of the Endangered Species Act and NEPA, in order to secure our borders. This is an analysis of the complex social needs coinciding with decisions regarding border activity along the U.S.-Mexico border, specifically the Arizona portion
