RE: coyotes + kids....................
In Banff National Park ,hikers thought it was cute to feed the coyotes sandwiches from their daypacks.[shown on the news]Then after the problem was created and everyone didn't feed them ,they became aggressive and several pulbic hiking trails had to be temporarily closed.Totally preventable but my favorite one is the Japanese tourist following the grizzly down the ditch about 10 feet behind trying to get him in the viewfinder of his camera.Lucky for him it didn't have cubs and was semi-tolerant of idiots.Harold* Hollywood has city coyotes eating garbage and cats .Brazil has jaguars in Rio de Janeiro picking off stray dogs.
