Pet owners - beware coyotes

Alas, I sadly see another lost cat poster on the mailbox in my Glenmore neighbourhood.

It is a regular thing here, and why is that?

Cat owners have to understand that aside from the busy roads, we have a thriving and very active coyote population here. I hear them yipping and howling day and night.

I have also come across a few remains of a very tragic and violent end to someone beloved pet.

I would like to think that's not what you wanted to happen when you let your cat out at night or all day while you were at work.

Think of this before you have to explain to your children why Fluffy will never come home again.

I have a small dog, and she is never out of my sight and always inside at night for this reason.
