Every spring, Shy Wolf receives calls from good-hearted citizens begging us to trap and save coyotes in their neighborhood. The callers are worried that the coyotes will be killed, but also don’t want them living next door.
It’s our experience that coyotes must be left in the wild. They are hardwired to be feral creatures, and treating them like domesticated animals can be risky. The orphaned bottle-raised coyotes that we have accepted into the sanctuary have not transitioned well to captivity. Adult coyotes captured and placed in captivity would fare even worse.
