In the month since a coyote attacked and injured a 2-year-old boy on the front porch of his family's Lake Highlands home, wildlife officials identified and killed four aggressive coyotes and set up a hotline for people to report aggressive coyotes. Now DAS has released its 30-page coyote management plan.
Dallas Animal Services unveiled its plan to better track coyotes in the city. It asked for input from people living in Lake Highlands, where a 2-year-old was attacked by a coyote in May.It asked for input from people living in Lake Highlands, where a 2-year-old was attacked by a coyote in May.
"We want to be able to utilize all of the tools at our disposal to make sure that we are not attracting any coyotes," said DAS Director MeLissa Webber. But the heart of the plan focuses on matching the right response to different coyote behaviors. They’re broken down into seven levels including observations, sightings, encounters, pet attacks and attacks on humans.
The plan includes tips about deterrence that residents may have heard before like not feeding pets outside, not composting meat or dairy, cleaning up your bird feeders, removing fallen fruit from the ground and making sure there aren’t places around your house where coyotes could hide.
