Vancouver coyotes attack people in Stanley Park, bite their own tails, and biologists don’t understand why
Vancouver coyote experts are using every tactic possible – not including catapults and dynamite – to try to solve the mystery of why these animals have attacked dozens of people in Stanley Park this year.
There may not be more than a dozen coyotes living in a four-square-mile park in Vancouver, but they have provincial and city employees chasing their tails in search of answers as to why the animals are so aggressive.
At the same time, the call to rid the park of coyotes is growing louder after nearly 40 cases have been reported since December 2020 of animals biting or showing aggression toward everyone from seniors to toddlers.
Paul Curtis, a professor and wildlife expert at Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y., has spent decades studying coyote aggression. His research, conducted in New York City parks 15 years ago, showed that people feeding animals that are territorial cause most aggression.

Definitely Global Warming
They have lost their fear of man.

Prion illness?…
Biden’s impact is far reaching.
A coyote is attacking your little dog and you run AWAY?!?
Chasing their tails? They’re just “circling back”, Like Jen PissHockey.
Yup. The Taylor Mitchell death in Nova Scotia is probably the most prominent case of this type. Why people deliberately feed them is quite beyond me.
Gee, erratic behavior, attacking humans. I don’t know... Rabies, perhaps?

They love the taste of Covid
Sasquatch must be close by.
They’re hungry

The closest encounter I had with a coyote was seeing it a half mile away running in the opposite direction.
We took care of problem dogs too. When I took over my friends paper route I literally watched dogs jumping out of their fenced yard to run away from me because they associated the paper bag I was wearing with my friend who took no shit from them. Once a doberman was trying to climb over a wooden fence to attack my friend and he took a club made from a 4x4 and shattered its jaw. Dogs either just did not like that kid or they really liked how he tasted.
I live in Phoenix now and when I go out the front door at night I practically step on the damn things and the coyotes are perfectly comfortable with staring at me from 100 feet away.
Weakness kills.
Putin’s fault.
they are coming further down this hills around here in sj,, lots of cats to hunt..
It’s because global cooling killed all The roadrunners
