PRESENTATIONS
JOHN PISAPIO, MINISTRY OF NATURAL RESOURCES,
REGARDING COYOTE DAMAGE
Mr. Pisapio was present to address the Committee regarding coyote damage. He noted
that over the past 100 years, governments have been trying to eliminate coyotes yet
there are now more coyotes than ever. He indicated that the reason for this is that
coyotes are highly adaptive and very productive. Mr. Pisapio reiterated that trying to
eliminate the species does not work. He informed the Committee that there are
different zones in Ontario, with different hybrids within each. He stated that in
Clarington we have the Eastern Coyote which is between 30-35lbs for females, and 35-
45lbs for males, and look much larger because of their long legs and full coats. Mr.
Pisapio provided the Committee with the life history of the coyote, which includes a 60-
63 day gestation and a litter size of 3-9. He stated that one of the reasons coyotes are
such a successful species is because they eat a wide range of food, from berries to
deer. Mr. Pisapio stated that the recent urban area attacks are typically tied to people
feeding the coyotes. He reviewed the territory, based on radio-collared studies, which
includes the Port Lands of Toronto. Regarding predation of livestock, he noted that not
all coyotes kill livestock, typically it is the older adult males. Therefore, he stated that it
is important to eliminate these older adult males in an area, not all coyotes. With regard
to prevention, he stated that it is important to provide barns or sheds for livestock. He
added that guard dogs, donkeys, llamas are cost-effective ways to protect livestock
from coyotes. Mr. Pisapio informed the Committee about the compensation program for
livestock losses, administered through the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and
Rural Affairs, which reimburses the municipality for the compensation paid. The
Ministry of Natural Resources is not involved in the program. He noted that every land
owner is empowered to protect their property through capture and destruction. Mr.
Pisapio stated that historical studies prove that there is an increase in coyote numbers
where there have been intensive control efforts or increased harvests for pelts. Along
those lines, he noted that bounties are illegal in Ontario, however he stated that there
are provisions in the legislation to have a municipality approach the Ministry of Natural
Resources for permission for a sanctioned harvest (similar to a bounty). Mr. Pisapio
stated that effective control includes selective culling within breeding territories;
promoting trapping of problem coyotes only by highly trained and Ministry approved
trappers where the timing is important. He informed the Committee that there is no
closed season on coyotes and therefore anyone with small game license along with a
wolfe/coyote game seal can kill coyotes. Mr. Pisapio noted that there is currently no
“explosion in the population” as compared to the normal population cycle despite what
is reported by the media. He further stated that the population tends to be self-
controlled by the mite disease called mange. Mr. Pisapio noted a number of options
available to homeowners to protect their property, such as properly storing garbage, not
feeding the coyotes and keeping barbeques clean. However it is important to note that
a property owner cannot use poison and must use humane methods to kill coyotes. He

informed the Committee that another option is to hire an agent, authorized by the
Ministry of Natural Resources, to protect their property. Regarding live-trap and
relocation, Mr. Pisapio noted that this does not work as the rules are that they can only
be moved one kilometre away, which does not solve the problem. He summarized that
coyotes are “here to stay” and part of the problem is caused by the changes we have
made to the environment. He added that we need to learn all we can about these
adaptable animals; discourage them from developed areas; and attempt to manage/
control them only when and where necessary.
Councillor Novak chaired this portion of the meeting.
