It’s everyone’s responsibility to protect pets, wildlife

Hungry coyotes are opportunists; Surprise reader urges vigilance

OPINION — I found Jason Stone’s article on coyotes easy reading and interesting. We live west of 303 toward the White Tank Mountains and have seen a few coyotes.

Seems we forget they were here before we moved into their territory and homes. Everyone should be reminded not to let their animals loose to roam the neighborhoods, as this attracts wild animals.

I constantly see posts “have you seen my cat or dog, been missing for a day or more.” Fences 6 feet high mean nothing to a coyote as they can easily jump 8-foot fences.
