- (This is an actual photo of a child attacked by a coyote)
- Due to the rapid growth of the Coyote population, increase in their aggressive behavior toward humans and pets, we as Citizens of La Verne or San Dimas, believe it is time that an "abatement program" be enacted, post haste, to deal with this growing threat.
- The coyote problem has reached critical mass. These highly adaptable predators are an increasing danger to our families, pets, and children. We fear that a more serious attack is imminent if something isn't done immediately.
- Clearly, many pets are lost each year. When will an attack happen on a child or an elderly citizen? There are dozens and dozens of lost pets each year due to coyotes hunting in our neighborhoods. This ALONE sho be enough for the City to support an abatement program.
- Therefore, Citizens of the La Verne and San Dimas communities are asking that our City's Mayors (Don Kendrick: La Verne & Curtis Morris: San Dimas) and City Counsels support a "Coyote Abatement Program" starting immediately.
Many families no longer feel safe allowing their children to play in their own fenced in yards for the fear of an attack by a pack of coyotes. It is a reasonable expectation of safety that our families, pets, and children are safe to play in their own fenced in yards without the growing fear of a predatory attack. Many don't feel safe taking a walk in the evening alone or while walking a pet. This has to change.
We are not asking for every coyote or other invasive animal be destroyed. Rather the animals that are using the residential streets as their personal hunting grounds be selected for this abatement program.
We ask the Mayors and City Counsels of San Dimas & La Verne the following:
1. Make this decision about a “Coyote Plan” in an open public forum where residents can participate in the process.
2. We also ask that all votes "for" or "against" the "Abatement Program" be made in public and included as part of the public record.
3. We also request that a web base tracking system for “Coyote Problems” be provided for residence to post aggressive coyotes and/or attacks. Please make these posts open to the public so others in the area can be aware of potential threats.
4. We ask that any and all coyotes that are using our homes as their personal hunting grounds be trapped and humanly culled. What we consider a coyote that needs to be “culled” is any coyote trapped within city limits. We do not support culling any animals outside city lines that live in the wild.
By doing so ensures transparency for both the residents and public servants.
We thank everyone for participating. The only way change happens is through participation. PLEASE pass on this petition to others as signatures AND comments are very helpful. Thank you all...!

We had a 50-lb Queensland Heeler-mix named "Princess," who was killed in our backyard on 8/8/19. My poor 6-yr-old found her. I put flyers on mailboxes throughout my area to let the neighborhood know what happened, so they can keep their loved ones safe.
There are packs that are now living in the communities, not just passing through. Their food sources are solely supplied by our community, making it likely they will view small children as an option if hungry enough.
I watched in horror as a huge coyote murdered my dog this past October. In my front yard, 15 feet from me. At noon. I live on Garey and Smith, LaVerne is one block behind me. I replay that event every single day. That little dog was my fur baby. DO SOMETHING NOW BEFORE A CHILD IS HURT.
I agree. The fact that they are so bold and unafraid is very scary. I had one on my driveway and when I yelled at him to go away, he simply moved a few feet into the street then stood there and stared at me. I went back inside before he could decide whether I was a threat or not!
Our little dog was attacked by a coyote while my husband was in the yard. My husband ran and yelled at the coyote which caused the coyote to be confused and he dropped our dog. Pretty creepy. Never in the 30 years we have lived in La Verne have the coyotes been this dangerous and aggressive.
I will volunteer to help in any capacity if needed.
Coyotes have gotten on top of the fence of our yard. We have two dogs and are scared to leave the house fearing that they will injury or kill our dogs.

The coyote problem is out of control. We had to build a special caged kennel with over a 10-ft fence for our dogs to be safe while we are at work. It is ridiculous that our pets or kids cannot be safe in our own backyard.
