Default Coyote in the Villages

Saw one the other evening across from the Mionia Rec center. Was a large one, beware, they like to eat cats and small dogs.

I've seen coyotes on the Churchill Greens Golf course in mid Villages.
Animals should never be tied outside and left unsupervised.

Eating ones pets should not be a problem as all pets are kept on a leash etc. Right

Ahh no. Pets do not have to be leashed on their property and if you live in a CYV they are pretty much never leashed in the back. Coyotes will take small leashed dogs without much problem.

Can I safely assume that Coyote's are no problem or threat if you don't have a small dog or Cat to be eaten? Hope so cause that means I'm OK.

Actually, that is right. I have yet to see an off-leash dog or domesticated cat in four years. Where are your facts?

I can hear the coyotes over in the cow pasture at night when taking our dog out for his last rest stop. They will go after the newborn calves. When they develop that area, we'll be seeing them in Tamarind Grove.

In a perfect world, all pets would be always on a leash and/or supervised.
Cats and dogs should never be tied outside and left unsupervised, even in a Courtyard Villa.
Some people let their cats out to roam, this is against the rules and very dangerous.
Your pets depend on you to keep them safe, so please take good care of them.

Leash or no leash they will get your pets. In Sumter county I've heard them scoop dogs away on a leash. The proble for us is getting worse those of us in the country are losing livestock as well It's a problem created with the new construction and the lack of foresight and greed not to address the problem of displacment of wildlife. I've lived here thirteen years an just within the last year lost mant animals due to wild life never before experienced. It's not the animals fault yet when your heartbroken when you lose a loved pet your anger wants to lash out on them. They were here first. The misguided fear and anger needs to be directed toward the creators of the problem not the animals. I love all animals but protector of my pets. Unfortunately when pursuing all avenues for humane solution to problems no response. To protect my domaine I personally will trap and turn over animals to locals improvised people who will roast then for dinner now if if you have power of community resources go for it otherwise you have to do what you have to do for yourself. Talking without action will not make problem go away. Action counts

I thought 'who would eat a coyote?' I was wrong.

Not so sure about that off-leash thing - check your Deed Restrictions under Use of Property - ours reads something like 'must be leashed when not within confines of home'. Does "home" stretch to mean "yard".

I think our Deed Restrictions says "under the owner's control". Which means invisible fencing is OK.
BUT cats and dog should never be left outside unsupervised at any time.
There are not only gators and coyotes but birds of prey that can take them.
Your pets depend on you to keep them safe. Please take good care of them.
