A San Jose couple said six coyotes came into their fenced backyard and attacked their small dog, Yuki, who lost his eye and nearly his life
The couple printed up flyers in the neighborhood and Anne has been canvassing the neighborhood near Almaden Valley Country Club. That’s when she learned of another recent coyote attack.The California Department of Fish and Wildlife said it’s not unusual for coyotes to attack pets.
“As coyotes spend time in neighborhoods, they become bolder and more comfortable with people. And they become more aggressive. We’ve seen them take pets, small dogs, and quite often, it’s avoidable and preventable. But it takes a neighborhood effort,” said Peter Tira with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
Tira added that neighbors can encourage coyotes to stay away by throwing rocks and making loud noises, keeping all food indoors, sealing garbage and eliminating rat infestations.The Hayashis said they’ve had Yuki since he was a puppy and are grateful their 11-year-old furry friend survived. Now, they want to make sure no other pets become the coyotes’ next target.
