Collide-a-scape

It makes total sense. We like to throw moldy bread at squawking pigeons and ducks, and place birdfeeders in our backyards. So maybe it’s not so asinine that some people have taken to feeding wild coyotes.

This story in the Rocky Mountain News explains why that’s not a good idea.  Neither is decorating your yard like Sanford and Son, or letting Taffy the wonder dog prance around outside at dawn and dusk.

We are supposed to be the smarter species, right? Happy Darwin Day.

So declares a community in the Denver metro region, against an old varmint. As reported in the Denver Post, Greenwood Village’s City Council

approved limited shooting of coyotes in public areas of the city, including parks, greenbelts and watersheds.

What, schoolyards and the village square are off limits?
