How simple is the statement don't leave food outside. Yet this simple statement cannot be comprehended by adult. Food left outside attracts animals. Animals mean coyotes. Bringing these animals into your yard and getting them used to human interaction make the unafraid of humans. Coyotes unafraid of humans are more likely to become troublesome.
The Narragansett Bay Coyote Study has show that humans feeding coyotes are causing a major problem. The animals are increasing in population and some are becoming nuisances. Yet people cannot comprehend that they need to stop feeding the animals. In April of 2011 open season was declared on coyotes. A hunter was hired to begin reducing the population in Middletown. People begin to complain the horrible hunter with his gun is going to hurt the poor animals. The poor animals are on the verge of becoming a very big issue, why because the people will not stop feeding these animals.
My own family is guilty of the same crime. But we learned very quickly that food no longer goes outside. We were lucky and mended our ways others need to do the same. If you do not want the animals hunted you need to stop feeding them. The population will reduce naturally. People do not want to think that their actions are causing harm but the people who engage in this feeding are not going to have the same attitude when their animals go missing and their own safety is threatened. We are dealing with animals that are not aggressive towards humans generally, we are making them aggressive. We are the species that needs to under go change.
While I admitted that I have no issue with the animals being hunted. I will admit that I have an issue with animals starving because of over population. Being killed instantly is more humane than starving to death. The study that is being conducted is showing us who the animals are that are and issue and more importantly they are showing the people who are an issue.
