we are the cause of this situation.NEW by: Anonymous
I live in milton and for the past 5 years. At the begining i was able to hear coyotes howling at night from the escartment. But since Matamy are destroying all natural habitat for the human greed. I don't hear the howling anymore, all i see now is many road kills. Where would you go if your house and seroundings were destroyed? We need to think a little further then our greed and sellfishness. We need to think about how and why wildlife is moving in our cities? Unless greed made us insensitive and completely ignorant.

Coyotes by: Anonymous
The reason there is such a problem is we are taking over all the open space for our wildlife, what should happen is a ban on building. We are losing very important green space for our wildlife so they have no choice but to come into residential areas. I lived in Oakville for 15 years but have moved away because it has grown so much is so over populated and all the beautiful open space and parks are disappearing!!!!

coyotes in College park area by: Ian
I live directly beside White Oaks High School. On February 25th I took my friend's dog for a walk in the park off the leash, she bolted at a small grove of trees.
I thought it was three dogs that ran from her but it was 3 Coyotes. I put the dog on the leash and went a little closer, reluctantly, the Coyotes{mother and two pups I believe} reluctantly retreated but tried to surround me.
The next night I went back out and saw another larger Coyote, the male I believe, it just sat and stared at the dog and I from about thirty yards.
I believe the construction in sixteen mile is driving them south, they are here to stay.

I too live in the neighborhood closer to the trail system running through from Bronte, and have on several occasions seen the Coyotes running by.
On one occasion in particular there were two running together.
I have a Golden Retriever and never let him out alone in the evening.
