Canton issues warning
about coyotes in area
There hasn't been a confrontation, yet, but
Canton Township officials are taking no
chances considering the reputation of sever-
al visitors seenprowling area subdivisions.
They are warning area residents to avoid
any encounter with the coyotes reported
seen throughout the township. Special
Service Lt. Deb Newsome of the Canton
Public Safety Department issued a statement
last week, urging residents to take preventive
steps to ensure there was no conflict with the
four-legged creatures.
Newsome said in the statement that the
Michigan Department of Natural Resources
has reported coyotes throughout the state, in
both urban and suburban areas, including
subdivisions.
Coyotes are most likely to be spotted dur-
ing their breeding period, which occurs in
Michigan from mid-January into March,
Newsome said, and the canines are active
day and night, however, peak activity usually
occurs at sunrise and sunset.
Coyotes can be difficult to distinguish
from a medium-sized German shepherd dog
from a distance. The size and weight of coy-
otes are commonly overestimated because of
their long fur masking a bone structure that
is slightly smaller than most domestic dogs.
When running, coyotes carry their tail below
the level of their backs, Newsome added in
the statement.
In urban areas coyotes are attracted to
garbage, garden vegetables and optional pet
foods. Coyotes are opportunistic, and will
prey on unattended small dogs and cats.
However, because coyotes are known to have
an instinctive fear of people, coyotes rarely
attack humans. According to public health
authorities, bites from snakes, rodents and
dogs are a far greater possibility than from a
coyote, the statement continued.
To assist inminimizing a potential conflict
with a coyote, Newsome said people should
never approach or touch a coyote and never
intentionally feed a coyote. Residents should
eliminate all outside food sources, especially
pet food and put garbage out the morning of
pick-up. She also suggested residents clear
out wood and brush piles; they are a habitat
formice andmay attract coyotes.
Newsome stressed that residents not
allow pets to roam free when coyotes are
present-consider keeping pets indoors or
accompany themoutside, especially at night
“Because we share the community with
wild animals, a coyote sighting should not
automatically be considered a cause for con-
cern,”Newsome said.
“If residents feel they are in danger of a
coyote, or if they observe a coyote in obvious
distress, they should contact the police
department,” she said. “Otherwise, residents
are encouraged to follow the tips provided to
minimize interactionwithwildlife.”
Reports of a coyote in distress or causing a
threat can be referred to the non-emergency
line at (734) 394-5400.
Emergency situations should always be
called in through 9-1-1.
safety, in the formof police and fire protection.
But, we know, it is a fact of life and it is theway
of the world in which we now are forced to
contend.
It seems, somehow, unfortunate, however,
that businesses, who continue to pay taxes on
their property and equipment, and who are
the backbone of any vibrant and attractive
downtown, are the ones now forced to pay for
surveillance cameras to replace police protec-
tion their hefty tax dollars were already fund-
ing. Those businesses, too, are the first ones
hit by the parking fines now being imposed on
shoppers, clients, visitors anddiners.
Yes, we know. It is theway of the future, it is
necessary, it helps everyone, it is the economy
and on and on. We really aren't criticizing any-
one.
We are, however, lamenting the loss of a
lifestyle and sense of community that was
once the most attractive throughout the entire
area.
We miss the feeling of freedom and
absolute security that used to mark downtown
Plymouth, where one could walk through
Kellogg Park at midnight and feel completely
secure.
And if one chose to do so in pajamas, it
wouldnever be recorded on videotape.
