Please sign to tell governent officials that residents of Isle of Palms and those who visit the island should not be asked to co-exist with coyotes. These animals are a threat to our way of life. Government officials need to find a solution and implement it NOW before more of us lose part of our families, our pets. Government officials cannot wait until an adult or child is injured or killed before they enact a plan to rid Isle of Palms of these dangerous animals.

The stories shared in the comments regarding the safety of our pets remain my primary motivation for this work. I am currently compiling documentation to present to local officials to ensure this issue receives the formal attention it requires.

The rapid growth of our petition indicates that the community recognizes the urgency of this safety issue. This momentum confirms that residents are no longer willing to wait for government action regarding the presence of coyotes on our island.

We have seen multiple coyotes around our home in Wild Dunes. We agree this issue needs to be proactively addressed before someone is harmed.
When I reached out to IOP regarding the recent likelihood that my cat was destroyed by the previously seen coyotes on forest trail, I was told they were part of the natural habitat like the alligators and deer . I try not to swim in the golf ponds as much as possible and have yet to be attacked by a herd of deer or pack of bunnies, squirrels , possums , raccoons, or turtles
Coyotes are over populated and not native to this area. They are a threat to small animals and people. Coyotes are changing the natural environment of the low country.
I just moved here and am questioning the decision because of the coyotes. My cats went outside before we came to IOP and now I am so afraid one will sneak by me and get killed. I am not sure why there is no wildlife management plan for these predators.
We lost our kitty and hearing more sad and terrifying stories daily of others that have been impacted.
I'm from Southern California and we are fighting for the same thing here. I wish you all the best with solving your coyote problem. This issue has gone way to far. In the city I live in we recently had a resident pass away in their home leaving the back door open and coyotes dismembered his body.....
I would like to see the city to enforce overgrown lots and along the golf course on the outside of the Wild Dunes gates along Waterway Blvd.

I have read the informative article about coyotes. It pretty much confirmed my feelings about them. Like wild dogs, they travel in packs when there is a significant number and that is when the situation will get out of control. They are already getting bolder with sightings during the day and don't think I should have fears walking in my own neighborhood. This is not their natural habitat, and they should be removed ASAP. Animal rights activists will scream about destroying them, but give no thought to animals already being decimated by them, example deer & turtle nests, and don't even mention pets & real danger to children
