Cities may be going too easy on coyotes, researcher says

A researcher argues that Toronto's current strategy for managing coyotes may be too lenient, suggesting that coyotes causing persistent issues should be euthanized rather than just hazed away. This proposal has sparked debate among animal lovers and advocates, who are concerned about the ethics of euthanasia. The research highlights the need for a more aggressive approach to coyote control to protect both public safety and wildlife, emphasizing that waiting too long to act could exacerbate the problem. The findings underscore a broader conversation about how cities balance humane treatment of animals with public safety.
