One of the animals was first seen outside Our Lady of Peace School on Mar. 1 and has been observed multiple times since then.
“Animal control has been called by I couldn't even tell you how many people. People in the community, parents, the school. We have all called and we all have gotten the response saying that they can't do anything about it because it's in its own habitat,” Anastasia Agelakos, who has two children attending the school and a third enrolled in a daycare located on the property, told CP24.com on Monday. “But it is a danger to the community as well as the school.
“It was literally running around the field all day. It parked itself and just laid down in the middle of the snow in the field, 10 feet away from the daycare,” Agelakos said. “There is a small little forested tree area that it runs to. But it is running around all day long. It is extremely concerning.”
But no one shut down Chinguacousy Park even as Coyotes ACTUALLY stalked & ALMOST attacked a child on 'stmas day last year.
So many dumb comments below, humans have taken up too much of nature's real estate
ACHlUWA
Not one teacher on staff that can chase it off weak
City slickers
It would be a great educational experience for the students to have one them attacked by the coyote as a teachable moment about reality, something sorely missing from our Woke schools.
That’s why you need guns in school
Go outside it will scare them away
Screw animal rights, wipe them out before they attack someone
Wow the facts from wildlife officials would be welcomed in this story not parents who know nothing C P24 I thought you were better than this!
I don’t think they typically approach people
Don't hurt the Cayote! He just wants to learn!
Oh dear
Lol southern o Ontario
Great news! We can't raise generations of easily manipulated compliant pussies if we're not constantly blowing our assessments of potential threats out of proportion. I suggest we do birds next. You know they're just waiting for the right moment to peck some kids' eyes out.
They better not kill it.
Andddd credit goes to our BOB THE BUILDER aka ford 😂🫰
I went to school once and saw a fox. Not a coyote but pretty cool in my opinion.
You do realize we are in their space.
Maybe the coyote doesn’t identify as a coyote? Don’t label it, that’s not fair.
In Arizona coyotes near schools isn't seen as an issue
Just get one of the neighboring high-school students to come over and shoot it....
City folk are useless.
Yeah.. don’t take care of coyote!! Put our kids inside.. placing the coyote where it belongs will effect coyote’s mental health!! So compromise on our kid’s!!
Call a roadrunner!
Working at a school in Mississauga back in November, walking the Kinder students around to get the bus after playing outside, a coyote charged towards the children, caused a panic so I put myself in between the coyote and children and made myself big shouted loud and it ran away.
Call a hunter already
Truth is, someone at the school is feeding it, thinking it’s a good idea. Coyotes will only come around if there’s a source.
The television media doing as they are told… keeping people scared shitless! trudeau and his pals must be very happy with cp24!!!
Imagine if we stopped destroying all of their habitats for developers to build homes most Canadians can't afford anyway.
We as human beings, keep building, and intrude on their homes
I do not understand what the big deal is? Just get a couple of roadrunners to keep the coyotes occupied. Oh, and an ACME supply store nearby would also help.
They have no where to go. ☹️😢 😡🤬😡🤬 It’s devastating that developers can’t wait to take over land for new houses, etc. Eradicating small creatures in the interim. The larger animals i.e. Coyotes etc., never attack humans, just leave them alone and don’t feed them.
That's not a coyote, that a husky mix...
So scary
Why not simply teach the kids how to coexist with the coyotes
Leave the dogs alone. They are not bothering anyone. People are the problem.
This is stupid. If you let 200 kids out of the school at recess he would disappear in a second.
They’re not going to do anything. Start teaching kids about the wildlife in Canada from a young age. New comers to the country and certain nationalities have less empathy than the animals themselves. It’s a shame how braindead and heartless people are.
Only in Brampton. Lol.
Not a hard problem to fix. Just get a couple hunters to come by after school, wait, then shoot it.
Kinda cute
I wouldn’t want to be the one to have to call a parent to inform them their child was nearly eaten by a wild animal on the playground. 🤷🏼♀️ Safety is wise. Hysteria is excessive.
Omg poor coyote
Why aren’t these coyotes captured and relocated?
I’ve made multiple reports to BlueWillowPS regarding sightings across the street where kids walk to school. My son reports he’s never heard a warning announcement.
Harmless young coyote
Coyotes are everywhere in the GTA , it’s quite serious !
Which WMU is Brampton? Gotta check on some bi-laws😏
Shoot it
No no. Let them outside. Take out the weak kids.
Sad part is they will kill them when it turns dark so nobody see's. 🤬🤬
Do people never wonder why animals act unusual sometimes? Is it injured/sick or starving So sick of humans killing everything without a qualm... then suddenly panicking if an animal acts a little weird.
🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🙄
Somethings wrong with this picture. Nobody can figure out how to solve this problem and let the kids take recess still? Is the coyote armed?
They need a Great Pyrenees wannagoyote
The coyotes are probably more scared of you than you are of it.
I'm sure a couple of hounds will sent it on its way.
Yes because a coyote is going to run into a crowd of screaming elementary students and carry one off lol
They are all over Brampton . Dorset drive ps has the same issue . They are in our parks and on our streets all the time. We are told to leave them alone. Problem is , you can’t walk your dog or go outside with young kids . They won’t re- locate them.
I see them alot in the open farms fields in around brampton halton ontario
Here's a thought. Catch it and relocate it.
The entire week for one day of sighting a coyotewe had bears in the school yard and we stayed inside only half the day.
Shoot it
Incredible. Helicopter parents have ruined the school system. The coyote didn’t do anything. This was an opportunity to actually teach kids something. Raising a generation of little bitches. 😖
The people of Brampton… sad and pathetic.
More coyotes less guns!
Why don't you take the students outside and quietly stand at a great distance, and watch wildlife? This is ridiculous, will you keep kids inside for the entire coyote breeding season too? What about red-winged blackbirds? Is that the whole spring indoors?
Just don't hurt them your invading there territory
There are few living in Chingousey park near Queen and Central Parkway. One crossed the road right front of my car about a month ago. It’s scary as people will be going for walks, runs etc soon.
Will that mean online classes? Or homework for the week.
Did anyone ask the coyote if it identifies as a child? Maybe he’s trying to go to school🤷🏻♂️
But the guns!
Last night Spotted. Chinguacousy & Mccrimmon Drive Brampton
Bet they will kill it…. Instead of trapping and releasing it…
It’s so cute
The inside of your house is on the coyote ancestors range...gonna let it inside? Urbanites are so Disneyfied
Give me a break! I had 2 big ones roaming my fence line this morning looking for mice! My wife carried on feeding the horses like no big deal!!
If they would stop building then these beautiful animals could have a place to live and serve their purposes! New subdivisions are being built in this area. What do you expect?
Coyotes are beautiful creatures. Trap them and their packs and relocate them up north in the wild
🤣 the Fur trade nation
Canada Goose used to use Coyote Fur, but then the public lost their minds. There is an over population and they need to be hunted.
So we r living in a Springfield simulation?
This is ridiculous. What is worst is I had to spell check how to spell 'ridiculous'
It’s Jagmeet not a coyote.
Why don’t they sound an alarm to scare them away?
There's alot of firearms in Brampton.
Don’t kill it 😪
A week?... How soft is society? It's one coyote who would most likely disappear as soon as the sound of hundreds of children during recess starts. Make the kids aware of the animal, to steer clear, and what NOT to do (run) if it approaches. This is a school... Try educating.
This time of year they are quite hungry. They probably smell a lot of foods in the air up there in Brampton
Only in the city........
Be careful he might have covid
why didn't a teacher go out with a hammer? problem would of been resolved in less time than it took to write this article.
I'm just wondering that if i got hurt by this coyote and i just want to live my life, is it legal to fight back？Are there any penalties if the coyotes got hurt or be dead as a result of the fight？
Why are people wanting it killed . They are more afraid of us then anything
Maybe he just wants a higher education😉
poor thing :(
Ban all garbage and recycling bins .
Story update: the coyote is reported to have left once it realized it was in Brampton.
Wyle E Coyote, Super genius.
We need more coyote hoodie trims for coats
If not friend then why friend shaped ?
He is kinda cute
Dufferin-Peel **
How pathetic.
Snowflakes
So what reason isn't animal control not hunting it down to relocate.
That's what the TTC needs to patrol the subways.
It's cute
Closing the school and locking down the students at home for 72 days should flatten the curve of invading Coyotes!!
Let's the kids go and play there noise will scare him off had same issue when I was in elementary school with black bears the breaks always wander away
I know about a dozen hunters off the top of my head that will gladly fix the problem just so that kids are safe and able to go outside which they don't do enough
Shoot it
Maybe people should stop feeding the wildlife.
I've heard packs of coyote's in the play area of Fieldgate area and Ponytrail Drive in Mississauga there is a daycare and grade 1 school and at around 7:30pm and 10pm they're howling right behind the mini School is where they're are every night.
Is the coyote armed?
Brampton has had a rat problem for the last few years due to all of the garbage improperly dumped by residents. Coyotes are probably eating well in Brampton now too.
Why y’all wanna kill then for being the animals that they are… humans!! The city can’t come in catch it and release it in a safer space?
This isn't news, our kids (also in Brampton) are kept in from recess a lot because of coyotes on school grounds
The weather is bad anyway.
Bro just wants to learn something new
Maybe we let a few more wonder around Brampton to control the crime rate.
So the solution is in creating a calming and quiet place for the coyote 🤔. What about the coyote hazing methods? I mean if you don’t want to shoot the damn thing.
The coyotes won’t do anything to the people unless they feel threatened. The longer the kids stay inside, the more settled it’ll become in its natural habitat. Unfortunate that people are suggesting killing it as an option. We’re in the coyote’s space, not the other way around.
The coyote was just scavenging for recent stabbing or shooting victims .
My son would jump out the window to see this creature
For the whole week? Just shoot it lol
Trudope doesnt want you to be able to protect yourself. Stay inside
That coyote won't last in Brampton. Too many people strapped, or armed with knives or 'other' weapons. Or a car will definitely try to hit.
Bro just lonely and looking to make some friends. I am sure of it. 😂
Once you taste curry there's no going back
This is a tough one. They would approach people. Kids should not run. Easier said than done.
Watch out for ACME explosives!
Poor coyotes were taking their habitat ..mating season for them. Hope they are rehomed
Give it some sandwiches
Still mating season.
quell
Who got the pellet gun?
Maybe the coyote will come back next week
