Speak up! Mamaroneck Wants to Kill Coyotes

From: Animal Defenders of Westchester (ADOW)
September 19, 2019 

The Village of Mamaroneck has asked the DEC for permission to begin trapping and killing coyotes (Memo below). They are keeping this quiet.

We spoke with Mamaroneck Village mayor Tom Murphy weeks ago regarding the town's geese slaughter; he strongly affirmed that the village would not kill geese, sounding compassionate and informed. He mentioned coyotes - and we informed Murphy there are intelligent humane speakers and organizations that are happy to work with his community to educate people about peaceful coexistence with coyotes and wildlife, which he claimed to be humane about as well.

THIS INFO HAS COMPLETELY BEEN IGNORED. PLEASE SUPER-POLITELY CONTACT THE FOLLOWING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS SHAMEFUL DECISION:

Mayor Tom Murphy:

Murphy can be contacted via Facebook:

Village council member Dan Natchez (who previously spoke up strongly against Mamaroneck killing deer and is now on their board
Natchez can be cc'd along with Murphy: [email protected] 

Village Mgr Jerry Barberio
phone: (914) 777-7703 (polite messages can be left 24/7)

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP! MAMARONECK IS CALLED 'THE FRIENDLY VILLAGE' - THEY KNOW THIS DECISION IS BOTH UNPOPULAR IN THIS DAY AND AGE...AND DEFINITELY NOT FRIENDLY.
