在您的橘郡住所中预防土狼袭击的提示

任何居住在奥兰治县的人都可能至少遇到过一两次土狼。尽管大多数土狼斑点与在旷野消磨时间有关,但现实是它们也可以进入居民区。随着天气变暖,土狼幼崽开始成长并冒险进入郊区寻找食物和水,这一点尤其正确。不幸的是,这有时涉及破坏房屋,甚至在土狼攻击它们觅食时杀死宠物。为了防止此类事件的发生,纽波特比奇警察局一直在与居民共享有关土狼在居民区大量涌入的信息。

您将如何提供帮助

To help with addressing the coyote issue that some areas are facing, the Newport Beach Police Department is asking residents to report coyote sightings whenever possible. They are also asking residents to help them identify if the coyote?s behavior appeared to be ?green? (non-threatening) or ?red? (dangerous).

Residents are also being encouraged to learn the art of ?coyote hazing,? which involves acting as a pack to discourage coyotes by creating loud noises, creating big motions and engaging in other non-threatening behavior. By reporting the coyotes and participating in the hazing process, residents can help to discourage coyotes from interacting with and spending time around humans.

保护宠物和儿童免受土狼侵害

土狼对宠物,甚至对小孩构成重大威胁。为防止对您的宠物和儿童造成伤害,请确保远离您的区域。小型动物也应带入室内,不要束缚皮带。此外,绝对不允许宠物和儿童与土狼一起玩。纽波特比奇警察局和动物控制局概述的一些具体准则包括:

? Never allow cats and small animals to go outside alone, even in a fenced yard. Dogs and cats have been known to be taken from a backyard enclosed by fences as high as six feet.
? Always accompany small pets when going outside.
? Don?t allow your dog to roam off of its leash.
? Remember that coyotes generally hunt between sunset and sunrise, but they will not pass up an opportunity to attack at any time of the day.
? You can further reduce the chances of attack by feeding your pets indoors, storing trash in covered heavy-duty containers, keeping your yard free from potential coyote shelters (such as thick brush and weeds), enclosing the bottoms of your porches and decks and eliminating potential food and water sources (such as fallen fruit and standing water). You should also never purposely feed coyotes. Not only will this only serve to exacerbate your problem because coyotes who are fed by humans lose their fear of people, but providing food for wild animals is a violation of both City and State law.

通过采取这些步骤并向纽波特比奇警察局和动物控制局报告问题,您可以大大减少处理与土狼有关的问题的机会。这不仅有助于确保您,您的家人和宠物的安全,还可以使土狼在它们所属的荒野中和平生活。
