A Downers Grove family is sharing their emotional story after their 13-year-old dog was killed by coyotes, with increased sightings of the animals unnerving other residents.
“Coyotes are not considered a public safety concern,” Aimee Hughes said. “They really prefer to avoid people and other animals if they can. They do know there are a lot of resources in our urban neighborhoods so they’ll take advantage of that. You’d be surprised how many coyotes coexist with us without even realizing that they’re there.
Hughes said that increased coyote sightings could occur when they’re breeding, or when they’re raising young, because they’re seeking out extra resources. Younger coyotes can also strike out from their family units to try to find new territories.Stella hopes that the tips will help keep other animals safe, but mourns that it’s too late to help her pet.
“If I could do it again, I would definitely have him on a leash,” she said. “Make sure that the backyard is lit enough that you can see anything.”
