Are they really that dangerous? What exactly is being done about them? And why are they now such a concern?<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><i><b>History:<\/b><\/i> The Eastern Coyote was first recorded in Nova Scotia in 1977 and is the newest large mammal on the scene.\u00a0 Their migration to Nova Scotia was the result of habitat change, forcing them to find new territory.\u00a0 It didn&#8217;t take very long for coyotes to be wide-spread in the province due to their diverse diet and ability to adapt.<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><i style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Eastern Coyote Bio:\u00a0\u00a0<\/i>Average\u00a0 Male= 34 pounds, Female=24 pounds. Typically larger than western coyotes due to their distinct genetics from past inter-breeding with wolves. Average litter: 5-6 pups. They hunt in family units or packs. Diet consists of deer, mice, squirrels, snowshoe hare, fruit, and excellent at scavenging. Can live in urban areas.<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><i style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Facts: <\/i>There are no reported cases of Coyotes carrying rabies in Nova Scotia.\u00a0 There has been one fatal attack on a human by a Coyote in Nova Scotia, the only other incident was recorded in California in 1981.\u00a0 There are 3 records since 1995 of people bitten or attacked in Nova Scotia.\u00a0 Since 1994 there have been 24 recorded human-coyote interactions resulting in injury (14% of all reported human-coyote incidents). Coyotes, like most other wild animals in Nova Scotia, prefer to avoid human contact.<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">\u00a0 Given this info, why the uproar about coyotes? Was that one tragedy a completely isolated, freak incident, or is there a real issue here?\u00a0 The government quickly responded by hunting down and shooting the coyotes responsible for the attack, and examining them for evidence of rabies or other reasons as to why these coyotes would be particularly aggressive. \u00c2\u00a0Rabies was not found, and it is thought that the coyotes may have just been very desperate for food, causing the out of character behaviour.<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">\u00a0The result of the incident was widespread coverage in the media about coyotes in Nova Scotia.\u00a0 Whether it was possible sitings of the animals in rural areas, incidents being reported much more readily, or discussion about a <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Culling\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cull<\/a>, the coyote had earned an infamous spotlight. After the widespread media coverage and pressure from the public, the government of Nova Scotia instituted a cull\u00a0 in 2010 and again in 2011.\u00a0 The cull was part of a new 4 step plan to control aggressive coyotes which also includes a biologist to study human-wildlife conflict, training more trappers, providing a pelt incentive, and increasing education about the animal.<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">\u00a0It is yet to be determined what effect the government&#8217;s new approach towards coyotes has had, but that doesn&#8217;t stop media from covering reports of sitings that otherwise wouldn&#8217;t have been news, and for people to question the merits of instituting a bounty on the animal.<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">\u00a0From my experience in the woods (4 summers of tree planting in Nova Scotia, and many years spent enjoying the outdoors) I have only seen or heard coyotes\u00a0 from a distance.\u00a0 To me,\u00a0 there is nothing like being in the remote areas of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.halifaxtrails.ca\/kejimkujik-national-park\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kejimkujik National Park<\/a>, at night, watching the sun set over a lake, listening to the loons call, the frogs peep, the owls hoot and the coyotes howl.\u00a0 It is nature functioning as it should.\u00a0 Only when human encroachment is put into the mix does the balance get disrupted and problems arise.\u00a0 I think following the usual rules of entering into the wilderness are all you need: Try not to travel alone, make some noise, carry pepper spray, a knife, or a stick, be aware of your surroundings, treat animals with healthy respect, but realize most of them want to avoid humans as long as they are aware of your presence.<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">What are your thoughts? Is the uproar about coyotes warranted? Has something changed to make them more agressive? Is the cull necessary? What other approaches could we take? Is this just hypervigilance resulting from one very tragic freak-incident?
