Coyotes were spotted off Meeker and R.H. Johnson Boulevards earlier this summer.

I was a bit taken aback by the article, “Coyote Kills Sun City Dogs.” Though it is always sad to hear that someone’s furbaby has passed, especially in this way, I don’t condone inhumane treatment toward any animal. To be given the suggestion of filling a high pressure water gun with ammonia to “irritate their mucus membranes with a burning sensation,” is cruel to me.
The article even states that coyotes were here well before Sun City was established. Yes they were. We’re in their territory.
I live in Sun City where the coyotes often have a thoroughfare through our backyards, but they’ve never bothered us.
Clapping your hands and yelling gets them to move on if they linger. Filling a water gun with ammonia is not cool.
I know we all have different opinions about them. This is mine.
