As the article states "awareness" - not fear mongering'
"acceptable hazing" - not trapping and killing.
Please spend as many posts telling people to not put their garbage out until the day of pick-up, to not put out tins of tuna hoping to lure their lost cat back home, to not put out foor for feral animals and similar common sense things to do and not do. I fear your posts are even upsetting people who do not walk pets but just walk for personal exercise and pleasure! After all - the coyote you saw the other day ran AWAY FROM you and NOT TOWARD.

Good advice.
