• FOOD FOR THOUGHT•

We’ve caught wind of states passing laws to re introduce wolves into the states. We have seen an increase in livestock guardian deaths/attacks as a result.

As a farmer who has a lot of animals and expensive ones at that - that need protecting it was the main reasoning we got our 2 livestock guardian dogs.

But the below photo is certainly terrifying as yes our livestock guardian dogs have a duty a very specific role on the farm but as farmers we love and depend on them and want nothing but to ensure there safety as well.

Ultimately look at the difference between the smaller coyote and wolf in the below ⬇️ ⬇️ photo. It would take a fleet of livestock guardian dogs to potentially handle and manage a wolf pack verses a coyote pack. The wolves are not endangered so why - why are we allowing this. I say yes we allow it because a law doesn’t pass unless it’s voted and approved. We need to speak up. We need to continue to give our guardian’s a voice that is slowly being taken away.

While we continue with our ongoing case we remind everyone to Make A Difference.

Without speaking out change does not happen. What’s being done is wrong. Stand firm and Advocate. The Breed deserves it. They are workers in a important workforce of agriculture and are essential tools properly used.

Happy Monday

January - March

Please keep a close eye on your pets. Coyotes can get over fencing. We have had several cats and dogs get killed by coyotes in Burlington during this active season.

PLEASE BE PROACTIVE about your pets safety!
Keep your pets on leash when outdoors at night, and closely supervised.

Please report any problem coyotes or conflicts with coyotes to:
ACO Meskun (860)960-6600
DEEP Wildlife division (860)424-3011

Tips on Preventing Conflicts with Coyotes

DO NOT allow pets to run free! Keep cats indoors, particularly at night, and dogs on a leash or under close supervision at all times. The installation of a kennel or coyote-proof fencing is a long-term solution for protecting pets. A variety of livestock fencing and small animal pen designs can protect farm animals.

NEVER feed coyotes! DO NOT place food out for any mammals. Clean up bird seed below feeders, pet foods, and fallen fruit. Secure garbage and compost in animal-proof containers.

Always walk dogs on a leash. If approached by a coyote while walking your dog, keep the dog under control and calmly leave the area. DO NOT run or turn your back. Coyotes are territorial and many reports of bold coyotes visiting yards, howling, or threatening larger dogs can often be attributed to this territorial behavior.

Attempt to frighten away coyotes by making loud noises (e.g., shouting, air horn) and acting aggressively (e.g., waving your arms, throwing sticks, spraying with a hose).

Be aware of any coyote behaving abnormally or exhibiting unusually bold behavior (e.g., approaching people for food, attacking leashed pets that are with their owners, stalking children, chasing joggers or bikers, etc.) and report these incidents to authorities immediately.

Be aware of and report any coyotes exhibiting behavior indicative of rabies, such as staggering, seizures, and extreme lethargy. Daytime activity is not uncommon and does not necessarily indicate rabies.

Teach children to recognize coyotes and to go inside the house (do not run) or climb up on a swing or deck and yell if they are approached.

Close off crawl spaces under porches and sheds that coyotes or other animals may use.

Educate your neighbors. Ask them to follow these same steps.

Regulated hunting and trapping may be used to remove problem coyotes in areas where it is safe and legal to do so.

DEEP does remove problem coyotes but may issue a permit to landowners or municipalities to employ a licensed Nuisance Wildlife Control Operator, who is qualified in advanced trapping, to target coyotes that have attacked supervised pets or penned farm animals; are diseased; or have threatened public health and safety.
