March 31, 2011, FATE OF COYOTES Soon to be Decided!
Ontario's wildlife "belongs" to all of us! The decision as to what happens to coyotes should not just be up to farmers and hunters. Yet, an 'Agriculture-Wildlife Conflict Strategy' will determine whether the cruel and senseless slaughter of coyotes in Ontario becomes an annual event or whether this province joins other more civilized jurisdictions that promote coexistence.

Our voices need to be heard - public comments can be made up until April 11, 2011.
