Ward 4 Councillor posted a tweet yesterday that highlights a serious problem.
Why? Why? Why? She asks
The wrapper for this chicken is similar to what Animal Control people have seen in the past.
“Chicken baits” found beside the playground at Lansdown Park yesterday morning. The same type of bag to transport the food has been observed by our investigators previously.
Stolte remind people that “Last month I was successful in putting a Motion before Council asking for the maximum fines for this type of dangerous behaviour.
Steps away from a playground.
Individuals can now be fined a maximum of $100,000
Please report any suspicious behaviour to Burlington Animal Services.
Stolte adds: “The only conclusion is that this individual is clearly trying to inflame the issue of aggressive coyotes and is willing to put children in harms way to do it.”
Coyotes are always at Lansdown Park and the former Pearson field. Every day. And I have seen these carcasses there in the past, as well as signs of feeding coyotes. Nothing new, but unless you live in the area ( or ever visited it ) you would not know this. They are currently feeding on the apples in the field in plain site of Palmer Drive. What is surprising is that your camera did not catch the graffiti on every single mailbox, guardrail, fence, cable box and transformer!
Thank you for posting this.
