(<em>Photo: NBC Los Angeles<\/em>)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Coyotes are marauding through the streets of Southern California, killing pets and, at least in one case, biting children.<\/p>\n<p>The Whittier City Council is considering a measure that would allow a part-time wildlife manager to take on the problem armed with \u2014 wait for it \u2014 a horn and air gun that fires \u201cwater-filled pellets.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a negative noise interaction, so when they hear the noise they associate it with something bad and will move on,&#8221; said Rod Hill, the Whittier Director of Administrative Services, in an interview <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbclosangeles.com\/news\/local\/Whittier-Weighs-Air-Guns-to-Combat-Coyotes-478117253.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"socal-solution-coyote-problem\" title=\"SoCal\u2019s Solution to Coyote Problem is as Dumb as You Think\">with local news<\/a>. &#8220;So every time they see a person, they will have a tendency to move away from the people.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Maybe that\u2019ll work for adults. But what about children and pets? What will cow these heartless killing machines from hunting our furry friends\u00a0and loved ones?<\/p>\n<p>At least one resident said that the time for scare tactics is over.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think they&#8217;re too aggressive already,&#8221; said Joanne Frisco-Stathoulis. &#8220;We try scaring them off ourselves and instead of running they look at us like, &#8216;Yeah, lady? I&#8217;m not going anywhere; you&#8217;re gonna go somewhere.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Another resident recounted the slaughter of her 6-pound Maltese. &#8220;All I heard was a yelp and she was gone,&#8221; said Faye Hill.<\/p>\n<h2>SEE ALSO:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/killing-coyotes-101-daytime-and-night-hunting-problem-coyotes\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"socal-solution-coyote-problem\" title=\"SoCal\u2019s Solution to Coyote Problem is as Dumb as You Think\">Killing Coyotes 101 \u2013 Daytime and Night Hunting Problem Coyotes<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s not just little dogs and cats. One owner lost his 45-pound Siberian Husky after it was attacked by a pack of six coyotes. Can you imagine watching your best friend get mauled to death?<\/p>\n<p>This story gets me so jacked up because I\u2019m a huge pet lover. No coyote is going to attack my dog. Period. If I were I resident of Whittier I\u2019d be demanding that the new wildlife manager carry a real firearm with the instruction: shoot to kill!<\/p>\n<p>Were he not to step up to the plate then I may be tempted to deliver vigilante justice. I mean, I hate to say it but what if these coyotes attack another child. Then, we\u2019ll see if \u201cwater pellets\u201d and \u201cnegative noise interactions\u201d are still an option.<\/p>\n<p>It shouldn\u2019t even have to get to that point. Haven\u2019t we learned the consequences of failing to act? Really, how many more pets need to die before the city recognizes that lethal intervention is the only surefire way to stop a predator dead in its tracks.<\/p>\n<p>Reminds me of a parallel conversation on school safety. But I digress. Kill those coyotes!<\/p>\n<p>Let me just add that I&#8217;d never call for the wanton destruction of any animal and that I do not have a problem with coyotes per se. In the wild, when they\u2019re hunting rabbits and squirrels and other small game, they\u2019re fine. I draw the line, however, when they start taking over the streets and murdering Lassie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a negative noise interaction, so when they hear the noise they associate it with something bad and will move on,&#8221; said Rod Hill, the Whittier Director of Administrative Services, in an interview with local news. &#8220;So every time they see a person, they will have a tendency to move away from the people.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":89862,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7,25,216],"tags":[132,607],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-89859","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gunsamerica-authors","8":"category-current-events","9":"category-s-h-blannelberry","10":"tag-buzz","11":"tag-news"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>SoCal\u2019s Solution to Coyote Problem is as Dumb as You Think<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Coyotes are maundering through the streets of Southern California, killing pets and, at least in one case, biting children.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/socal-solution-coyote-problem\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"SoCal\u2019s Solution to Coyote Problem is as Dumb as You Think\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"&quot;It&#039;s a negative noise interaction, so when they hear the noise they associate it with something bad and will move on,&quot; said Rod Hill, the Whittier Director of Administrative Services, in an interview with local news. &quot;So every time they see a person, they will have a tendency to move away from the people.&quot;\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/socal-solution-coyote-problem\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2018-03-29T11:54:13+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-08-30T18:28:47+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Screen-Shot-2018-03-28-at-9.58.43-PM.png\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"548\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"357\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/png\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"S.H.
