The BC SPCA is involved in wildlife rehabilitation through our Victoria Branch and we work cooperatively with wildlife groups in BC to rescue and transfer wild animals to rehabilitation facilities. The BC SPCA's position on urban coyotes parallels that of the Ministry of Environment which focuses on coexistence. Only coyotes known to be causing a direct threat to people should be killed, and the method of killing must be humane. It has been established that trap and release methods are not effective. Never attempt to befriend any wildlife.
Wild animals can be unpredictable.
Supervise your pets when they are outdoors. Be vigilant when walking near parks, golf courses and other wild areas. If coyotes are known to live near you consider making your cat an indoor cat . Keeping coyotes scared of humans protects people. In general a wild coyote will not approach people.
