Wile E Coyote

     The Coyote "issue" in Seal Beach, California has hit another week and with another week came another demonstration.  On Sunday, October 12, 2014, several protesters from a group called Empty Cages LA were expressing themselves and raising awareness.

     They were discussing the issue and handing out information on ECLA.  One of the members, on hand, is a Seal Beach Resident.  She informed me that the "trapping and killing" method currently contracted by the city is a program that is up for review after 2 weeks and that expiration draws near.

     The goal of the ECLA is NOT to necessarily stop the current method of the "trapping and killing" but to re-open the dialogue with the residents of Seal Beach AND City Council about  long-term, sustainable, non-lethal ways to deal with the coyote issue.."
The ECLA is also looking at unused land in the Seal Beach area as a place where perhaps the Coyotes can go and roam.  I'm not sure "where" that is but there is certainly land around the area being used for things like this:

Man v Nature is ever-present. 

During the discussion I had with the "demonstrator," someone mentioned that the Navy brought coyotes into the area because there was a fox problem. <--- Click for a story on the fox issue.

This issue has had more and more attention since inception and there is no doubt that tonight, at the 7pm City Council meeting (CLICK for MAP -->) LOCATED AT 211 EIGHTH STREET, SEAL BEACH, CA., there will be even more attention drawn towards it.  It should be interesting to see what both sides have to say and to see how things develop...

Until then, another "issue" is ongoing in Seal Beach that does NOT seem to get ANY protest and that is this:
