Dart them and move them . Very simple solution.
:P
More seriously, people should avoid feeding the wildlife - it's not really fair to the predators if you willingly attract them. On the other hand, if the predators eat people that aren't allowed to have effective means to defend themselves, the species is better off and pressure will go on the government to allow people to defend themselves.

Over the last few years I have noticed some of the coyotes in our rural Illinois area have lost all fear of man. If a predator looks you square on and moves towards you they very well may be sizing you up to attack.
About 25 years ago, I lived at Dugway Proving Grounds. DPG is a very remote and small test site located about an hours drive SW of Salt Lake City. Maybe 400 people lived there.
After a series of cayote attacks on peoples pets, the post commander issued a warning to residents that it was against post regulations to shoot the cayotes even in the act of killing a pet.
A day later, a post policeman, asked if I had heard of the edict. He told me that the post police would aggressively investigate any shots fired in the housing areas. Then, he told me that the post police were very busy and it probably would take them over an hour to start the investigation.
The civilian population was one of the most heavily armed I’ve ever encountered. The post commander was shocked to learn that there were three firearms for every person living there. He was even more shocked to learn that number only included the registered firearms.
I’d bet humans aren’t directly feeding coyotes. The coyotes are probably getting into overflowing trash bins in the park.
We just had our first cool front come through for the year (Got down to 80) and that get’s the juices flowing. This is my favorite time of year, I start calling Coyotes. This year I will be blowing them kisses with a 240 Weatherby, a 75 grain Nosler ballistic tip moving around 3700 ft per second is sure to put a smile on their cute little faces. By late spring we’ll have about 40 to 50 less yotes on the ranch. Most I ever got in one year was 83.

We have lots of coyotes where I live, and we have no problems with them. I wonder why? It could not possibly have anything to do with the fact that we shoot them.
The common reason given for the problem, as explained in the Canadian press, is the feeding of coyotes by humans.
This habituates coyotes to humans and associates humans with food. It is a contributor. This is not a new problem. It has been studied extensively.
The primary reason is *not* people feeding coyotes. It is the increase in the coyote population beyond the available food supply.
Feeding the coyotes is NOT the problem, it is the over supply of coyotes resulting from the feeding of the coyotes.
They can’t make the connection in thinking.
Shame that Cunucks are subjects and not citizens who are allowed by God to defend themselves.
“Prevent Humans from their natural defenses against animal predators”
Our natural defenses? Canada is stealing peoples’ fingernails and bicuspids???
Not enough small critters around to keep them fed?
