Coyote Denning Season in Mississauga: Safety Tips

0:00It's March 28th, Canada news today starts now, AI-powered and ready. I'm Cory with the story. Coyote Dining Season hits Mississauga from April through July, when these wild dogs dig in, birthpups, and get super protective of their spots. The city is dropping safety tips to keep folks and pets out of trouble, since Coyote stick close to dens to the young ones can roam in summer. Urban Coyotes are chilling more around people, like that viral GTA star bunny, and they've pushed into city spots from Toronto. Last spring, a tax on pets in one neighborhood got so bad the city had to take out two Coyotes. Residents are loving the cute Coyote vibes, but feeding them is a no-go, and pets need leashes tight walk dogs in open areas, keep cats inside, and watch backyards close. If you spot one, stay calm, don't bolt, give space, wave arms big, yell loud to scare it off. Coyote might trail you hunched and barking if it's guarding pups. Stop, face it, make noise, then back away slow.
