Coyote killed in front of Lake Louise Elementary

October 20, 2009 By Ben Sclair

There have been a handful of coyote sightings in the area over the last few days. In response to an unconfirmed report of a coyote being killed in the area around Lake Louise Elementary, the City of Lakewood’s Mike Zaro offers the following:

“The coyote was on the sidewalk in front of Lake Louise Elementary. It was injured and not running away from humans as they normally would. Animal control responded and asked for an officer. With children about to get out of school, the coyote injured and not running from people, the decision was made to shoot the animal. It should also be noted that there is no place to take injured coyotes for treatment so our options in those situations are extremely limited.”
