[Neighbors] coyotes

[Bridget Lopez]

Good afternoon!

We have lived in the neighborhood two years and have tried to keep our
children, dog and neighbors safe when at all possible. That was the intent
of my email response, that we as fellow human beings would contribute to
the problem with coyotes which have been behind my home of late. My son
runs early in the mornings before his schooling.

I am sad to leave the group but please remove me and my husband Roy Lopez
from the email group. We are active with our Meadowdale neighbors but will
not tolerate racist and sexists attacks from people in this group.

Kind regards,
Bridget Lopez
