    Default what to do about a coyote sighting.

    So yesterday I was walking the dog at around 930Pm in Tuscany. and saw 2 coyotes in the park then they crossed the street to another park. (with playground).
    Can I call the city to remove them. or is there even anything I can do about this.
    Also what can I carry on my walks just in case of a attack?

    100's of coyotes live in the city. You want to "remove" them? Why?

    You should carry a whistle, a gun, pepper spray and a bull horn in case anything happens on your walk, then you will be safe. If you see a deer, run for your fucking life!

    I remember watching an episode on the animal channel back a few years ago that if you make yourself look large, it'll scare them off easily as they are easily scared. And the recommendations the footage made was to wave your arms up in the air to produce the false illusion of you being a larger predator. So bring a walking stick, or something. But be sure to not to approach it, wether its you or your dog, or run away from it as it'll initiate the 'chase' instinct of the animal.

    Likely because the are predators and will hunt pets and small children. Its happened before in Calgary.

    I like to carry a big anvil, a large rock and a 4X10, then what you do is place the 4X10 over the rock get the coyote to throw the anvil to one side while standing on the other end of the 4X10, he flies in the air, lands back on the 4X10 and the anvil flies over and hits him in the head!!! Or you could try a large magnet...

    I now feel like I went into shock. I started breathing heavily and lost my sense of what was going on.

    Either this, or stay in your basement for the next few weeks.

    Coyotes are ridiculously skittish of humans. I wouldn't worry at all unless you let your Shit zhu roam free at night.

    Coyotes
    Calgary's natural and wild spaces are part of what makes our community unique. Many of us appreciate the abundance of places within the city limits where we can enjoy nature and for a little while, remove ourselves from the bustle of the city.

    Enjoying those special places brings also a responsibility—we must realize we share these spaces with other creatures, some of whom can be dangerous on occasion.

    Coyotes are one such species. They exist within the City of Calgary and residents need to be aware of them and how best to deal with them should they be encountered. Because of several factors, coyotes are not necessarily staying in traditional natural areas—they have been encountered in many urban areas within the city. This may be happening because they are finding food sources within the city and are not discouraged from utilizing those sources.

    Although coyotes mainly feed on small mammals such as mice and rats, they will attack domestic pets. Coyotes are generally no threat to people but should be treated with respect and never approached or fed. People with small children should be especially careful with their children around animals.

    While there have been reports of coyotes attacking people, these attacks are very rare and not often serious.

    Coyotes are part of our urban wildlife and should be enjoyed, but from a distance.

    ^^NO! We are humans and have the right to eliminate every threat known to us. Cull ever wild animal that poses even the slightest threat!! This is our right and responsibility!!

    Exactly. They're smart animals, they pick their battles. Unless they're in a group, they'll stay away from people. They might try to get your dog to chase. Leash your dog for dusk/night walks.

    I hear them all the time at night behind my house and they sound like they are fighting or killing something. Either way it sounds really freaky so I just make sure the kids are in.
