FICRA has now established a Crime reporting page on their website ficra.org.
This is NOT the FICRA Crime Watch Page.
The purpose of this page is for Island residents to share information
about coyote sightings, lost pets suspected to be coyote related, and
other information that will be used by Federal Agencies to control the
coyote over-population problem on Fox Island.
Thank you,
John Ohlson, Webmaster.
How Can You Help?
The USDA (Department of Agriculture) provides a fee-based
service to remove the problem coyotes here on the Island. This service will cost
approximately $5000 over the first year to get the current
overpopulation problem under control, and less on an annual basis to keep the coyote population under control.This opportunity
has been the topic of discussion
recently on the Fox Island News Facebook page,
and many people are willing to donate money to pay the fees.
The
best way to help contribute to the coyote removal effort, is to donate $25
or $50 towards the Fox Island Coyote Control Fund.
This money will be pooled and used to resolve hot spots with a
heavy concentration of coyotes first. |
