keep your furbabies safe folks
Somebody in the neighbourhood is feeding them.
Those that keep on replacing their pets.
Coyotes bite force are much more powerful than dogs. So be careful!
careful of what?
@Stu Bonner of their bite
@juliette Irene they don’t bite humans, they run away from humans.
If you see one, scream loudly, they are scared easily.
What do you expect when you build so close to nature? This is their land. We are the visitors
It looks like a very new development. You built on their feeding ground.
@nanishep the entire prairies is their hunting ground. The edges of prairie cities included.
Coyote attacked my cat and killed him on my aunts front lawn years ago as she was babysitting him, terrible day will never forget it still haunts me and makes me sick thinking about it as I wish I was there to fight the thing…
@Stu Bonner Well that’s just a mean spirited thing to say.
@Stu Bonner I like to hunt coyotes 🙂
Ya it sucks. The farm cats wander too far then never come back. Family needs to stop bringing them out there. They are just coyote snacks.
@MegaMech or get big dogs
@Not A Stone We had a dog. It went soft. Pretty sure it considered coyotes friends.
Must’ve run outa cats.
I thought alberta AB not altabnormal
Looked like she abandoned her child to get away from the coyote 😳
yep, so utterly pathetic.
Not that this is an acceptable situation, but it isn’t coyotes in people’s spaces, It’s the ever growing city in coyote spaces.
@- better bring millions more into Canada then, right?
@- let’s all jump off a bridge to save the animals 🙏
the problem is they have “small pets”
gotta have big dogs where they live.. labradors are easy to train and vicious to coyotes..
@Not A Stone No dog has much of a chance against a pack of Coyotes. Sometimes one coyote will lure the dog away from the house while the others circle around behind it.
@Not A Stone House cats have been videoed protecting children. They don’t always have to be large, just loved and scrappy in a fight. The problem is that neighborhood is virtually surrounded by the natural landscape. Developers should be required to design open buffer zones, fences and perhaps busy roads to isolate the neighborhood from the wildlife they are displacing.
Yikes I live in NW and whenever I walk my dog in the ravine nearby, I have to be super careful. They need to do something about it.
And do what? They are not a threat to humans. Your pet’s life is entirely your responsibility, get some bear spray.
@Stu Bonner Get some 00 buckshot instead 🙂
@juliette Irene no. canadians are out of work. nobody should be moving here.
@terrance kerr well they are by the hundreds of thousands every year. More than any other nation in terms of population vs volume.
@juliette Irene oh i know… our government doesn’t care.
You invade their territory. What do you expect?
i lived on a sideroad and i saw coyotes all the time.. never once attacked by one.. my dogs killed more than i can count.. any time they came on the property my dogs started hunting them down and always got at least one of them.
Now I suppose even Canadian coyotes are anti Asian racists.
get a big dog like a labrador.. the coyotes wont be a problem anymore..
my dogs killed many coyotes.. they tended to avoid our property after some time..
What about German shepherds?
lots of videos of coyotes attacking large dogs.
this is what happens when you put new communities in and take wildlife away.
they should be thankful it was them and not their child…
City folk I had a Stare Down with a tiny coyote 😂.
Let’s stop invading their territory for a start.
Coyotes and other wild life is losing their homes and habitat due to human expansion
Coyotes are usually scared of humans.
