But, from my understanding of my note from Mr. Burgess, the animals being targeted are the animals that live in the Preserve.

[QUOTE=Sandtrap328;1109051] There was ONE dog that got snatched by a coyote and that was after midnight and the little dog was out in the yard without a leash. Hopefully, there will be no coyote trapping - especially inside a wildlife preserve. Thanks to all who called VCDD and commented about the idiocy of trapping inside a wildlife preserve.
Personal responsibility and common sense are the best choices.[/QUOTE]

Personal responsibility and common sense.
