Are San Diego coyotes getting bolder? Residents want action – The San Diego Union-Tribune

SAN DIEGO   

One woman said her heart nearly stopped recently when she saw a coyote easily jump a 6-foot fence into a neighbor s Clairemont yard where puppies were playing. Another recently ducked into a side yard in her North Park neighborhood to dodge a coyote walking boldly down Felton Street in broad daylight.

These incidents and many similar confrontations with urban coyotes have convinced people in many San Diego neighborhoods that the wild animals have gotten bolder and that more aggressive intervention is needed by state and local wildlife officials.

They do love puppies, and not the way most of us do.
