Bridget,

</div>
<div>I’m sure they had their reasons. People have different perspectives on wild animals. They had good intentions. Leave at that. Judgments aren’t necessary. <br>

<div dir="auto">Thank you for the update. This is very irresponsible considering the animals, people and children in the area. </div>

<div>I saw someone putting a sign out by the Northaven Trail, and then I noticed that she works for Dallas Animal Services. The sign was a warning about coyotes in the area (this was near the Disney streets). I spoke to her and found out a lot of great information
that she asked that I send out on Nextdoor. There are about 6 coyotes in the area. She goes out in the early hours of the morning with a tiny dog (as fake "bait") on a leash and uses something like night-vision goggles in order to try to spot them. The behavior
she has seen in the area shows that these coyotes are not yet aggressive. (Over by Peter Pan park, there was one that was a bit aggressive, but he/she is now back to normal). </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In speaking with her, I learned that a neighbor in the area was actually inviting one of the baby coyotes to play with his dog!?? The coyote was jumping around and being so fun and playful, so it is now acting like a dog (when she spots it at night) and
coming back to find that other dog to play with. Another problem is that there are a few homeowners that are actually leaving food out on their front porch for them???? She said the coyotes are NOT going to starve to death-- they know how to get food, such
as cotton tails, rats/mall rodents, and even cats (she said they are trying to pass an ordinance that requires homeowners to keep their cats inside at night). She also said she finds food on the Trail that people are intentionally dropping off for the coyotes.
All the above activity is why the coyotes are sticking around this area. She asked that we please STOP doing any of the above.</div>
