Belleville is supporting a call for provincial help in controlling the coyote population in Eastern Ontario.
Ciy Council heard that there’s been a substantial increase in the number of claims for livestock killed by coyotes or wolves in that last two years. A resolution from a township near Mallorytown says that livestock compensation doesn’t cover the full loss to farmers. Councillor Jackie Denyes objected, saying there were only three claims in Belleville last year….and that most claims in this area are in Prince Edward County.
