3:00 snapshot #1143 Coyote warnings

[urbpan]

Here are two coyote warnings posted by an anonymous citizen several months removed from one another. Not quite a year ago Alexis and I saw one cross the street as we were walking the dogs--probably the biggest I've ever seen. I saw two together a few weeks or so, about a half mile from the house; the next day Alexis saw one dead on the road near that spot. Coyotes are definitely becoming more common in Massachusetts, especially in human-populated environments. The person posting the signs mostly seems concerned about the loose cats in the neighborhood--there are a half dozen or so that we see regularly. The big white one disappeared over the summer.

That assumes that people care about the welfare of their free-roaming pets, a concept I've yet to see proven.

well, there's always catch and release programs :)

i'm sure there's plenty of areas where there are hungry coyotes? :>

I'm not taking the bait.
