RE: UNPROVOKED PREDATORY WOLF/COYOTE ATTACK

Early this morning a residents dog was attacked by a Coyote or Wolf in the Bayshore Park area. Sadly, the dog succumbed to its injuries.

Wild animals generally fear and avoid people and rarely pose a threat to human safety. Take precautions and use common sense in ALL potential large carnivore encounters:

  • Stay calm and do not run
  • Stand tall and make yourself look larger
  • Slowly back away and maintain eye contact
  • Keep dogs on a leash
  • Always hike/camp in a group and never alone

Please report any sightings to the MBQ Infrastructure Department at (613) 396-3424.
