San Francisco Coyote Killed After Attacks on Dogs at Crissy Field

Federal officials decided to lethally remove the coyote linked to multiple dog fatalities and aggressive behavior towards humans.

DNA testing confirmed the coyote was responsible for killing three dogs and biting several others in San Francisco's Crissy Field area.
The coyote exhibited unusual aggression towards humans, prompting safety concerns and the decision to euthanize it.
Attempts to deter the coyote's behavior, including using a paintball gun, were unsuccessful due to its habituation to humans.
Relocation was not considered viable due to legal restrictions and potential ecological disruption.
Officials urge dog owners to keep pets on short leashes and dispose of trash properly to prevent further wildlife habituation.
