An uptick in coyote sightings in San Francisco has once again prompted a response by the city's parks and animal control departments. Two public spaces are now temporarily closed. They include an athletics field in Bernal Heights and a dog park on the edge of The Presidio.
An uptick in coyote sightings in San Francisco has once again prompted a response by the city's parks and animal control departments. Two public spaces are now temporarily closed. They include an athletics field in Bernal Heights and a dog park on the edge of The Presidio ."It’s disappointing," said Sally McDonald, who regularly brings her dog to the now closed dog play area at Mountain Lake Park. "There’s a lot of dogs that rely on this park.
During one of the incidents, the city says a dog was slightly hurt after a coyote bit its tail. A den was discovered near the play area."Out of an abundance of caution we are closing the dog play area," said Montes. "This is for safety reasons. Whether a dog is on a leash or not, it can be perceived as a threat to a coyote just because right now we’re in pupping season, so coyotes may be more protective.
