Video: Coyote kills pet dog in Mississauga

Is Mississauga being overrun with coyotes? Are the animals getting bolder? There have been two separate attacks on dogs in the past week — one of them fatal.

This is why every little dog needs a few big dog companions

They make coyote vests for dogs …the coyote can’t get ahold of the animal they work very well …regular fences will not work they can climb a 8 foot chain link no problem…just lost a cat last month so I know how heartbroken you are 😭 but that’s what they do, surprised they dropped the dog. They are hungry and have a den full of Cubs to feed. But definitely purchase a coyote vest for your dog they are amazing…👍

I fish the credit river and walk to my spots in the dark often. There's are hundreds of them up and down the river with high concentrations close to highways and electrical line fields that they use to travel. Have found deer with there rear end torn open and have had them start yapping around me in the dark there were for then 10 for sure

I have a Yorkie and maltese morkie mix and I live in an area where coyotes are found but my dog never got attacked by one and I hope that anyone who lives in a coyote territory with pets never get attacked and may God protect these people

Stop building homes on there territory..

I bet these folks like polar bears in the north country but not coyotes in urban Southern Ontario.

A backyard half the size of a football field! Really? Just build a decent fully enclosed chain link fence with a protective covering in a part of your monster yard.

Or is it because they live right next to coyotes natural habitat?

"Encroaching on residential land?" If anything, the humans encroached on their woods and replaced it with condos. No wonder the coyotes are getting back at them

american logic = Build a home in a wild animals natural habitat.... then act surprised when their chihuhuas get eaten lol
