Wildlife experts and residents shared their thoughts at a recent Huntington Beach Town Hall meeting.
wildlife experts and residents seem to be at odds with what should be done about the coyote population.
Residents shared their scary encounters with coyotes during Huntington Beach's recent Town Hall meeting with some saying that coyotes had followed them home. The emotional crowd called on the city and Orange County to act after police were forced to shoot two coyotes that seriously injured a toddler.
"I cruise around at night [because] that's the only time I get to exercise and I literally see five and six in packs cruising up and down the streets," said one resident. Some of the solutions were rebuked by experts claiming that relocation wouldn't work and sterilization would be too expensive and impractical. They insisted that the best answer would be to remove the items that draw coyotes near humans and pets.
