Coyotes Evolving with Humans The Canis latrans, most commonly known to us as the coyote, can live successfully along next to humans not only in rural areas, but in an urban area as well. For more than 15,000 years coyotes have specifically sought after the human-kind. Coyotes came to Florida in the 1970s and will continue to make Pinellas County their home in habitats that suit their living conditions, they are highly adaptable animals. This can create an intense dilemma in any area that contains a high population of people, such as Pinellas County. People need to be educated, aware and apprehensive in our area even though there have not been very many reported cases of coyotes harming humans, it still occurs too often. Our community’s population
Example: Coyotes, located in desert regions of the U.S., seeking revenge against roadrunners, and making more than $25K annually.
Aside from other wildlife, coyotes actually differ from most species that inhabit cities in a sense that they are often considered to be a nuisance even without any evidence of damage, but simply by being seen. Perhaps it’s because of their role of being a large predator that people are seen to be sensitive
On Saturday night, August 29th, a bear reportedly attacked two men. The incident occurred around 8pm, northwest of Cochrane in an area known as Ghost public land use zone. One of the victims of the bear attack told EMS paramedics that he was riding an all-terrain vehicle, and the other man was on a dirt bike, when they encountered a bear and cubs. “The bears attacked them knocking them from their vehicles. They had to deploy bear spray, and in a short time, the bear and the cubs departed the vicinity.” Says Adam Loria with EMS. “We heard something,” says Cam Steffen. “We weren’t sure if it was the cows and then it got louder. We heard it again and it was someone calling for help.” In the next couple minutes, EMS responded to an along Highway
-one governmental program from the US biological survey was Animal Damage Control which alone killed over 1,500 wolves and over 20,000 coyotes in one year.
Thirty years ago, Best Friend Animal Sanctuary was founded when a group of people had a vision to create a sanctuary for abandoned and abused animals. The main co-founders include: Francis Battista, Judah Battista, Silva Battista, Gregory Castle, Gabriel DePeyer, Jana DePeyer, Steven Hirano, Faith Maloney, Anne Mejia, and Cyrus Mejia. With very little money and no master plan, they set out to create something very ambitious. One of their major goals was to create a no-kill animal sanctuary, but unfortunately they didn’t have much of a voice until their sanctuary grew larger. They didn’t want to become famous or wealthy, but do the right thing for creatures who could not speak or act for themselves. To take the next step, in 1984, the founders made a promise to one another and the animals they cares for, that they would build a sanctuary in Southern Utah. Their mission was to bring about a time when there are no more homeless pets. They would dedicate their lives to housing and finding homes for unwanted pets while spreading
Othering: As Shown in Thomas King’s “Coyote and the Enemy Alien” and the Canadian Government In the short story “Coyote and the Enemy Alien” by Thomas King, there is a prevalent theme of othering that is demonstrated in the story. Othering is defined as to “view or treat (a person or group of people) as intrinsically different from and alien to oneself” (idk how to cite this). The idea of othering is expressed through the Coyote’s words and actions throughout the short story such as the connotation he uses when speaking about the Enemy Aliens.
In every town and city across the country, local humane societies and animal control systems has been relying on catching and killing feral outdoor cats to control their population. Over the last century in the United States, a program called Trap-Neuter-Return, or TNR, has been implemented. With this program, the cats are trapped, vaccinated, spayed or neutered, then returned to where they were found to live out their lives as feral cats. The program’s effectiveness has come in to question recently as feral cat colonies are still on the rise.

On 06/24/17 at 1:31pm I Deputy Warden N. Christian was dispatched to 1389 S Roosevelt Ave, on a dog at large, patrol only. I arrived in the area and was flagged down by the complainant. Complainant stated that a medium mix brown dog has been running loose for the last few days. I drove around the area, and saw a dog matching the complainant description on the 1300 Block of Sherbrooke Place. I took a picture of the dog loose. I exited my vehicle and talked to a few neighbors who stated that they don’t know where the dog lives. I tried to coach the Sharpei to come to me with doggie treats, the Sharpei would come within 2 feet of me than ran away. I repeatedly tried to get the Sharpei to come to me but to no avail. I returned to my vehicle to retrieve my snare pole. I slowly approached the Sharpei again and it proceeded to run from me, first heading east through backyards to S Roosevelt. I followed the Sharpie to S. Roosevelt Ave where I redirected it to Sherbrooke Place.

The North Shore Animal League will first discuss animal rights and how animal abuse and homelessness is at an all-time high today among animals. There will also be various pictures and statistics shown to offer the audience insight on which dog and cat breeds are the most abused and homeless. For example, due to their small size and temperament with people Chihuahuas are among one of the most abused and homeless dog breeds. The organization will then discuss their plan to remedy the issue of animal abuse and homelessness by opening up animal shelters in urban areas in Staten Island and Brooklyn to lower animal abuse and homelessness. These shelters will provide the animal’s food, water, and medicine, which are the main necessities for them to survive. By opening these new shelters, it will ensure the animal’s safety and well-being until people are ready to adopt and bring them home.

It was the middle of the night when I was woken up by the sound of something rustling in the bushes. *grrrrr, grrrr* I turned on my flashlight and flashed the bushes. Glowing red eyes pierced through the bushes and a panic came over me. A coyote was watching me. I laid on the floor as still as I could, waiting for the coyote to scurry off. I kept my kanteen and food canister as close to me as possible. Breathing heavily I clenched my only remaining food, hoping the coyote wouldn't strip it away from me. A few minutes passed and I was sure the coyote scurried off. I turned my head slowly and looked to see if the red eyes were still staring at me. This is when I knew I made a huge mistake... It all began on a warm, sunny day when I
