From: Gary York Sent: Wednesday, October 05, 2011 10:19 AM To: Gwen Peirce Subject: to the city clerk Hello  I live with Coyotes here in Fairfax ca and I have recorded them, and just have loved their rat  killing presence!  Do we want more rodents?  Sure they get loud but its so neurotic at times and funny‐never same time of day...they know  better.     They have killed zero cats here and there ar 5 outside in daytime. They come in at night but I   know it can still happen.  When you kill or remove an adult female  Coyote you get   MORE COYOTES its been proven, it causes other breeder age females to go in heat when they  lose one.     WE NEED them!  Gary York From: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, October 02, 2011 2:16 AM To: Gwen Peirce Subject: killing coyotes Hello, I think that it is great that you have stopped killing coyotes. I would like to urge you to place a permanent ban on killing coyotes. Not only is killing coyotes cruel and inhumane, it is also ineffective. If the area is desirable, the coyotes will return. You need to make the coyotes not want to live in certain areas. This is the only effective long term solution. Thank you for your consideration, Ranko Balog Irvine, CA From: Robert E. Rutkowski Sent: Saturday, October 01, 2011 1:38 PM To: Gwen Peirce Subject: Ensure Permanent Ban on Indiscriminate Coyote Trapping Calabasas City Council  100 Civic Center Way  Calabasas, CA 91301  email‐ [email protected]  Ensure Permanent Ban on Indiscriminate Coyote Trapping  Re:    Dear City Council:    I commend the City of Calabasas for its decision to stop spending tax dollars on coyote trapping and  killing and urge the City Council to make the temporary moratorium permanent.     Indiscriminate trapping of coyotes is not an effective or humane solution to reduce real or perceived  conflicts between people, coyotes, and domestic animals. Coyotes are here to stay. We must learn to  coexist. Education is the key.  There are many effective non‐lethal methods for reducing negative encounters between people,  coyotes, and domestic animals. More info here.    Coyotes play an important role in keeping rodent populations in check and ecosystems clean of carrion  (dead things). Coyotes also help to limit mescarnivoress (e.g. foxes, skunks) thereby helping boost bird  populations and diversity.    The City of Calabasas has an opportunity to become a trend‐setter with regard to coexisting with our  wild neighbors and continuing to emphasize the strong environmental values held by the community.  Encourage the City of Calabasas to work with Project Coyote and AWI in adopting and implementing a  model coyote management plan.  Thank you for the opportunity to bring these remarks to your attention.    Yours sincerely,  Robert E. Rutkowski  Topeka, Kansas From: Caroline Brown, Sierra Madre, California Sent: Monday, October 03, 2011 4:04 PM To: Gwen Peirce Subject: Do not adopt an ineffective and inhumane coyote eradication program Dear Mr Peirce; The city of Arcadia recently learned a very expensive lesson in coyote behavior due to their own ignorance as they reacted to community demands to eradicate coyotes in their residential neighborhoods. 14 coyote were killed and with a budget of $35,000.00 each coyote was eliminated at the cost of $1,400 (plus other expenses) after which the residents affected were not protected as other coyote moved in to take the place of those killed. It was determined that they could not be trapped and released elsewhere according to wildlife laws but their populations were not controlled and the money was wasted as was the good will of the people who thought they were making a wise decision for the citizenry. Wildlife/human interaction problems are better solved through education and the removal of coyote attractants by those who live in their territory, namely: proper storage of garbage, removal of pet food from outdoor areas, pets and children under the watchful eye of adults at times when coyote may be out to feed. I have watched coyote feeding on fallen birdseed from feeders still hung out in the winter (no song birds in the area to speak of) from the snow below. When they are hungry they will eat what ever is available. Humans are the ones with the big lesson to learn. Sincerely Caroline Brown, Sierra Madre, California From: Stéphanie ROSSENU Sent: Wednesday, October 05, 2011 1:44 PM To: Gwen Peirce Subject: Dear Sir, Dear Sir,      I commend the City of Calabasas for its decision to stop spending tax dollars on coyote trapping and  killing and i urge the City Council to make the temporary moratorium permanent.   Indiscriminate trapping of coyotes is not an effective or humane solution to reduce real or perceived conflicts between people, coyotes, and domestic animals. Coyotes are here to stay. We must learn to coexist. Education is the key. There are many effective non-lethal methods for reducing negative encounters between people, coyotes, and domestic animals. More info. here. Coyotes play an important role in keeping rodent populations in check and ecosystems clean of carrion (dead things). Coyotes also help to limit mescarnivoress (e.g. foxes, skunks) thereby helping boost bird population and diversity. I encourage the City of Calabasas to work with Project Coyote and AWI in adopting and implementing an ecologically and ethically sound long-term coyote coexistence plan that emphasizes public education, reducing coyote/wildlife attractants, and hazing of habituated coyotes.

From: Leslie McLean   Sent: Saturday, October 01, 2011 9:19 AM  To: info  Subject: Dear City Clerk of Calabasas,    I am writing in appreciation for your temporary moratorium on the extermination of America's native  song dog, the coyote. It is an enormous relief to see that one community can step forth in a humane and  reasonable way and be a trailblazer in this area!    I ask you to please make this plan permanent. Coyotes are here to stay and we must co‐exist with them.  Trying to exterminate them is not effective and is hideously cruel as well. Coyotes do a lot of good in  keeping the ecosystems balanced, eating carrion, reducing rodent populations, and more.    Thank you so much for what you have already done and what I hope you will do in the future!    Leslie McLean  Sonoma CA    PS This makes me want to visit Calabasas! From: Dan Silver Sent: Saturday, October 01, 2011 4:56 PM To: Gwen Peirce Subject: Coyote Management Plan Calabasas City Council 100 Civic Center Way Calabasas, CA 91301    Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers:    The Endangered Habitats League urges you to adopt a non-lethal management plan based upon co-existence. Coyotes are part of the ecosystem and people who choose to live at the urban-wildland interface must adapt accordingly. Please be al leader in a successful effort.    Sincerely,    Dan Silver, Executive Director Endangered Habitats League Los Angeles, CA www.ehleague.org From: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, October 05, 2011 8:40 AM To: Gwen Peirce Subject: coyote letter Michelle LeMoine Lake Forest Park, WA 98155 October 5, 2011 Dear City Council members, I am urging you to adopt and implement a progressive, humane, coyote coexistence plan that emphasizes public education, reducing coyote/wildlife attractants, and hazing of habituated coyotes. I am currently involved in creating a wildlife management plan for the City of Lake Forest Park, WA . Our research and advice by state wildlife biologists confirms that using these techniques, are the best long term solution to living peacefully with coyotes. I believe that cities like Lake Forest Park and Calabasas will become a role model for other small cities that are dealing with similar wildlife issues. Sincerely, Michelle LeMoine From: sue hodges   Sent: Tuesday, October 04, 2011 9:36 AM  To: Gwen Peirce  Subject: Ban coyote trapping    We respectfully request that the City of Calabasas CA become a leader in the fight against  indescriminate cruelty ( in many cases carried out by "wildlife services" USDA at taxpayer expense  without the knowledge or consent of many many taxpayers).     Project Coyote exists to change many of the stereotypes about coyotes and they offer excellent  alternatives to the anchronistic and cruel practice of trapping live animals which most times suffer  tremendously in those traps.  Our society is better than that and it's time that some municipalities come  forward courageously and take a stand.     Kudos to your city for taking on this issue..     Su Hodges  Lives in Wisconsin but has two children residing in California, both of whom are in agreement
