Coyote caught in Chicago Quiznos
QMAQ-TV 7:54 p.m. CDT April 3, 2007 CHICAGO - For one day, at least, the roadrunner is safe. It seems the coyote is hankering for another kind of fast food. Video: Coyote Pays Quiznos A Visit Employees and customers at a downtown Chicago Quiznos sandwich shop were stunned to see a coyote walk through the propped-open front door Tuesday afternoon and lie down in a cooler stocked with fruit juice and soda. A coyote walked through the open door of a Quiznos restaurant downtown and made himself at home in the soda cooler. It happened in the Loop at the Quiznos at 36 E. Adams St., where a large crowd of both media and passersby snapped pictures of the wild spectacle from the window outside. Animal Control was called to the scene and took the coyote -- who was unhappy to be removed -- away. AC said the coyote's leg was slightly injured, and that's why he found the cooler so comforting. "It tried to jump over the cooler," said one employee, who, like the rest of the Quiznos employees, ran out when the coyote ran in. But he didn't make it so he just settled inside it. "It wasn't aggressive at all," restaurant manager Bina Patel told the Chicago Tribune. "It was just looking around." Employees and customers calmly cleared out of the restaurant, though some took the time to finish their sandwiches and snap some cell-phone photos. "This one definitely I will definitely remember forever. A coyote in downtown Chicago," Quiznos employee Rick Torres said. The city captures 10 to 15 coyotes every year, especially in the spring when they are most active, said Anne Kent, director of Chicago Animal Care and Control. Veterinarians will examine the coyote and, if he is not injured, release him into the wild. Jill |

I can't let my cats out anymore. In Chicawgo wild animals can travel via the embankments of the Chicago River or they can travel along the lakefront (Lincoln Park is 28 miles long)... In my very dense Chicawgo 'hood a block from the lake I can sometimes see rabbits, skunks, etc. They mostly come for the food ;-) Lotsa birds too, in fact a major migratory stop for birds is at Montrose Harbor which is just a bit north of me...you can even see pelicans and the like... This bird sanctuary was once a Nike missile base (to ostensibly protect against Soviet bombers nearing Chicago), when it was abandoned in the '70's it was given over to wild growth, and the birds like it. -- Best Greg > > > Babs > Come for the Food.

What's the legal status of including random-source (AKA roadkill)
coyote in a commercial food product? I'm not advocating it, but it sure beats the 6% China White in the wheat gluten. Steve |

It's a wild animal capable of wild behavior. It wasn't in some coffee shop in the middle of Kentucky Jill. He's lucky they didn't shot him. Should we now start handling rats more humane rather than using poison? Anyway, he's going to a nature preserve about 25 miles west of where they caught him. Lou |

The Coyote and the rats running all over the city of Chicago are far from that. Pets can be fun if you have the patience for them. I don't. We have a dog that was around before me so he stays. I hate him, but would never poison him. But I have no problem using rat poison. I've seen the damage they can do. lou |

My last pet rat was one of the hairless variety. But, wild rats are a different story and have created some serious problems here (outdoors only thank the gods!). I have poisoned many of them and my border collie has also killed her share. I just bought some "Victor" sonic pest chasers that I intend to try outdoors to see if I can just chase them off. Pet rats and wild rats ain't the same critters luv. :-) -- Peace, Om Remove _ to validate e-mails. "My mother never saw the irony in calling me a Son of a bitch" -- Jack Nicholson |

And by the way, I've never been to Kentucky LOO. That animal wasn't any more harmful than a pet dog. If you read the article and watched the video, it just trotted in and sat itself down. No biggie.

Those critters just learn to > tolerate their humans but rats develop a real affection for them. They are smarter too. :-) My sister had a pet white footed once that learned to walk a tightrope. Cassie got out of her cage one day when my sister was asleep. She woke up to find the rate curled up in the palm of her hand, asleep... Rats will learn to come when called. I've never known any other rodent to do that. I know I always felt guilty feeding them to snakes at school. Talk about a difference in I.Q.!

It's interesting that they attacked the collards like that. Perhaps there is something in them that they need??? Try some broccoli just for grins? My rat's primary diet when I had them was Purina lab blocks, but they got lots of fresh stuff on top of that. -- Peace, Om Remove _ to validate e-mails.

Dad bought a new dog house for Jewely and put it over at the side of the house. It took me 5 minutes and 2 tries to teach her the new command to go to that location when I told her to today. Jewels is about 4 years old now. She's a Border Collie. On the downside, I've not been successful at teaching her to "fetch" yet after 3 years of trying <sigh> Guess my communication is still a bit off. I understand that the trick is to get them to understand what it is that you want of them. She is eager enough to please me... -- Peace, Om Remove _ to validate e-mails.

Ps: WHY DOGS ARE BETTER THAN MEN Dogs do not have problems expressing affection in public. Dogs miss you when you're gone. Dogs feel guilt when they've done something wrong. Dogs don't criticize your friends. Dogs admit when they're jealous. Dogs are very direct about wanting to go out. Dogs do not play games with you--except Frisbee (and they never laugh at how you throw). Dogs don't feel threatened by your intelligence. You can train a dog. Dogs are easy to buy for. You are never suspicious of your dog's dreams. The worst social disease you can get from dogs is fleas. (OK. The *really* worst disease you can get from them is rabies, but there's a vaccine for it, and you get to kill the one that gives it to you.) Dogs understand what no means. Dogs understand if some of their friends cannot come inside. Middle-aged dogs don't feel the need to abandon you for a younger owner. Dogs admit it when they're lost. Dogs aren't threatened if you earn more than they do. Dogs mean it when they kiss you. HOW DOGS AND MEN ARE ALIKE Both take up too much space on the bed. Both have irrational fears about vacuum cleaning. Both are threatened by their own kind. Both mark their territory. Both are bad at asking you questions. Both have an inordinate fascination with women's crotches. Neither does any dishes. Both pass gas shamelessly. Neither of them notice when you get your hair cut. Both like dominance games. Both are suspicious of the postman. Neither knows how to talk on the telephone. Neither understands what you see in cats. HOW MEN ARE BETTER THAN DOGS Men only have two feet that track in mud. Men can buy you presents. Men don't have to play with every man they see when you take them around the block. Men are a little bit more subtle. Dogs have dog breath all the time. Men don't shed as much, and if they do, they hide it. And the number one reason dogs fall short... It's fun to dry off a wet man. -- Peace, Om Remove _ to validate e-mails.

A coyote is a wild animal, capable of much more harmful behavior than a pet dog. This one was injured which made it even more dangerous. In one of the few empty fields in an industrial area a few miles from our house, a farmer has been pasturing a dozen longhorn cattle. He recently added two llamas to the herd, probably for their protective value. Sheepherders keep llamas because they will kick a coyote to death if it threatens the sheep. I think the farmer is hoping for the same for the longhorns. gloria p |

Yup, we have a squirt bottle with water in it which we use on our cats. It's pain free and they really don't like it... -- Jani in WA |

If you watched the video it was just sitting there, blinking its eyes and cooling off it's hurt leg. Didn't need to be dragged out by the neck the way it was. The coyote looked more upset by that than anything else. At least it was treated by a vet and released away from the city. Jill |

Ours get rat food blocks, too, in addition to nuts, dried fruit, and any leftovers we have. They love crackers, pizza crust, potato skins, lettuce, cabbage, carrots and now, as I discovered, collard greens. They're definitely not starving! :~) kili |

Talk about > a difference in I.Q.! > > I just wish they lived longer... > For a few years at university I had a part time job as animal caretaker in the psychology lab and used to look after hundreds of rats at a time. During my last year I also worked as a research assistant for one of my professors. He was conducting a study on the effects of infantile stimulation on rats on their ability to learn delayed random reinforcement schedules. The they had to be trained to push a bar in a Skinner Box to get a reward, then then went into a modified Skinner box that had to bars, when they pressed the leave there was time lag of a few seconds and then the mechanism that determined whether they go a pellet ever third time or every 8th time started. When the lab suppliers sent out bunches of rats they often through in a few extras in case some of them died in transit. I don't remember any ever dying en route. A few times we had more rats than we had cages for and I had to find homes for them. I tool a lot of them home. One rat that my son had was exceptionally friend. It used to get really excited whenever he came into the room. He was happy enough when anyone came in, but used to get even more excited when he did. The down side of the job was that when they were finished with the rats I had to euthanize them. That was no fun. OTOH, if we used ether instead of Nebutal they could be used for food at a local owl rehabilitation centre. so whenever I had a bunch of rats to do in I got to see all the owls. |
