It wasn’t until I visited the California Department of Fish and Game website that I was moved to comment.

I feel your headline “People a problem––not coyotes” isn’t at all represented by the data in the available documents.

It’s my opinion obviously, not that of the California Department of Fish and Game or the U.S. Department of Agriculture, whose data you quote out of context.

Please provide this Web address—www.dfg.ca.gov—and let your readers access the documents under the “What to do about nuisance, dangerous or injured animals” tab.

The information in the Department of Agriculture report appears to refute several statements made in your two articles.
