Combination of education and innovative hazing techniques allow people, pets and coyotes to peacefully coexist
The Humane Society of the United States, in collaboration with the St. Louis Park Police Department, held a series of workshops Thursday to share successful techniques for humanely resolving conflicts with coyotes with more than 70 residents and police officers.
?The Humane Society of the United States values St. Louis Park?s focus on empowering and educating residents to solve conflicts with coyotes,? said Lynsey White Dasher, urban wildlife specialist for The HSUS. ?Public education and coyote hazing are not only more humane solutions for resolving these conflicts, but they are also more effective and longer-lasting than the proven failures of lethal measures.?
The seminar for St. Louis Park residents featured nonlethal techniques that can be used to prevent conflicts between residents, their pets and coyotes. Participants learned tips for protecting pets from coyotes, reducing coyote attractants, such as pet food and unsecured garbage and hazing bold coyotes.?Coyote hazing helps restore the fear of humans back into habituated coyotes and involves the systematic use of deterrents, including noisemakers, projectiles and water hoses.
A second workshop for police officers was held to further train them in responding to residents about coyotes.
