I asked myself why I was seeing two beautiful, healthy looking Coyote running by my apartment building the other day. Clearly they were determined on finding breakfast, but how will they find it in this neighbourhood?
Where are they coming from, I wondered. A friend reminded me that their natural habitat has been disturbed by so called "progress". How sad is that, I thought. These beautiful creatures have been left homeless, and the only way they can survive is to feed on domestic animals - and perhaps they are a little happier to find chickens in neighbouring backyards.
Then today I was alerted by Google of important information about the ongoing struggle by environmental groups in BC to maintain the pristine beauty and wildlife habitat of this amazing province.
I connected the dots and realized that this article answers my question - "Why were coyotes running wild on Tisdall St. in Vancouver?"
The story found at this link tells it all. http://www.bclocalnews.com/kootenay_rockies/thegoldenstar/news/108436954.html.
"Somehow, the Provincial Ministry of Environment and the Federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans approved the idea of a fish translocation into a pristine wetland. This is a clear example of how these projects can go wrong, despite a rigorous application process."
