"Kill Coyotes!" Votes Greenwood Village, CO City Council


According to the Denver Post:

A war against coyotes in the Denver metro area has begun with Greenwood Village firing the first shots.

Greenwood Village's City Council, in a special session Thursday, approved limited shooting of coyotes in public areas of the city, including parks, greenbelts and watersheds.

The council passed an ordinance allowing a contractor, Animal Damage Control Wildlife Management Services, to fatally shoot coyotes.

We live in a country where coyotes are considered more dangerous than people with guns.

Here is a link to the bios, photos, and numbers of the City Council that passed this ordinance.

Here is a link to Animal Damage Control Wildlife Management Services who brags to be "the most experienced wildlife removal service."

When defenseless animals whose habitats have been converted to concrete by human species are simply trying to live, what is the appropriate response ethical people should have to their senseless slaughter? What lengths should we go to save animals lives? If you were a defenseless animal whose family had been shot, what would you want done to those who killed your family? What responsibility do able people have to carry out the will of the defenseless?

The Animal Liberation Front would argue by any means necessary.
