The city of Burlington, Ont., says it has eliminated a two coyotes identified by victims in a string of recent attacks on humans and the search is still on for a third.
The city says staff recently met with Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry experts about the pattern.
It says the provincial experts believe that the aggressive coyotes are a family that have been conditioned to see humans as a food source due to people feeding them. The third coyote is described as small and sandy-coloured, the same characteristics as a coyote in the most recent two attacks on people on Sept. 10 and Sept. 17.
City of Burlington Animal Services, Halton Regional Police Services and a certified wildlife control professional have been tracking the coyotes and residents are being asked not to interfere with operations.
