Why should posters confine discussion to The Villages? I simply do not understand the refusal to admit what professionals with FWC are telling us, as in this video.

FWC Urges Public to Stay Away from Urban Coyotes | SNN TV
Do you want to know what we are dealing with or do you want to control what I post and ignore the truth? Look at this video, 2 months ago, one hour from The Villages , by the FWC, Fish and Wildlife Commission. if you continue as you have been doing, I wil be accused of bad motive, error of research, mistake that it was too long ago, or God forbid it was posted twice.
From the article...note this "awareness is the key"...
Gary Morse, with Florida Fish and Wildlife’s regional Lakeland office, says after Aaddie, a small Chihuahua, was taken by a coyote last week as the owner was in the front yard with the dog, it proves urban coyotes are becoming less afraid of humans, and we need to take away their food source. Morse advises residents across the state to not let coyotes or other wild animals threaten you. Instead, use a form of acceptable hazing. Morse says this problem is nationwide and says awareness is key to managing coyotes and other wildlife who are becoming more urbanized. Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation
