“Only when we have become nonviolent towards all life will we have learned to live well with others.“
Rescued from Miami bay area, the exhausted coyote was INHUMANLY EUTHANIZED just because someone felt so. FWC is responsible for the cold blooded decision! We still have no clear answers why this happened but the poor animal was declared a nuisance and put down after all the efforts from the Miami Dade Fire Rescue Department to rescue him from the Miami Bay and regardless there was shelter for him at a sanctuary.

Why rescue and animal and then euthanize it? Animals have rights the same way humans do. Show kindness and compassion living beings.

Why euthanize him. It shouldn’t matter that he’s not a native of Florida, more than half the people living in Florida are not natives or even US citizens and you don’t see them being euthanized.. Just leave him alone and send him out into the wilderness, he’s scared as it is. Love all animals..❤️

This represents Miami poorly (especially after Super Bowl weekend and the world watching) after all the effort the MDFR put in. FWC should be ashamed of themselves.

Putting an animal down that doesn't need or want to die is a lazy, uncreative, heartless and easy alternative that benefits FWC.

Despicable and unforgivable....there was no excuse for the killing of this poor coyote.....a wildlife rescue had already kindly agreed to take the animal.... whoever made the decision to kill should be fired.

Originally, they were going to send it to a wildlife rehabilitation facility. They even had all the arrangements. Then FWC changed their minds and said that coyotes are considered nuisance animals and killed it. But we're protesting this. Coyotes were naturalized in the 70s here and fossil remains show they were always here. Humans are the true invasive species.

This and FWC totally suck! The employee that made this decision should be canned immediately. He is not a friend protecting our wildlife, but an apathetic jerk! I'm mad as hell.
