Like
many predators, coyotes practice a form of birth control.

the alpha female breeds in each pack. Photo

If
you may have coyotes on your property or in your neighborhood,
follow
these tips:
- Do
not feed coyotes. Problems occur when people begin feeding
coyotes, either deliberately or inadvertently.
- Garbage
must be stored in secure containers. Do not put meat scraps
in compost heaps.
- Remove
outside pet food containers. Coyotes will prey upon small
mammals attracted to pet food.
- Keep
pets indoors or keep a watchful eye on them. Walk dogs
on a leash, especially at night.
- Do
not leave small children outside unattended.
- Encourage
your neighbors to follow the same advice.
