Beaches Coyote Will Not Be Euthanized, Relocated Instead

A coyote that attacked and killed a dog a dog in the Beaches will not be euthanized.

Instead, city and provincial officials have decided to move the animal to either a zoo or a conservation area.

At least one coyote was captured Monday in an east-end ravine.

The trouble began when Sean Maxwell's chihuahua Zoe was attacked Feb. 21. Like many in the Beaches, Maxwell's yard on Neville Park Blvd. backs onto a ravine.

"[My dog] went out about 15 feet...and all of a sudden from the neighbouring yard I saw a flash come up over the fence and pounce on her, and I was shocked," he described at the time.

However, he didn't want to see the animal put down. Area residents started a petition calling for relocation, and their efforts seem to have succeeded.

If you see a coyote near your home, give Toronto Animal Services a call at 416-338-7297.

come home, little garbage bin...come home
