Volunteers will be encouraged to chase down coyotes, charging and stomping, while lobbing sand-filled tennis balls at the animals.
Quite the ruckus is required to give coyotes a good scare, said Colleen Cassady St. Clair, a University of Alberta biologist overseeing the project. Similar tactics have been employed for decades to keep wildlife at bay. Rocks, slingshots and rubber slugs have been used in national parks across North America to deter hungry bears from eating garbage."Hard hazing" could become a powerful and affordable method to manage the estimated 500 to 1,000 coyotes that roam Edmonton, St.Clair said.
Each volunteer was trained in aversive condition methods and equipped with a supply of tennis balls covered in colourful flagging tape. The five coyotes that were subjected to aversive conditioning were not seen again for an average of about 37 days, compared with about 10 days for coyotes that were not harassed.

Only in liberal edmonton would you hear of such a 'tuck your penis between your legs while looking in the mirror' approach, anywhere else in Alberta it would be a 5.56 NATO round being thrown at the coyotes.
Tennis Balls!?! Seriously!?! They’re fucking dogs! You’re going to end up playing fetch! 🤦♂️
TheBeaverton Edmonton sets out to teach coyotes how to fetch
I think paintballs would be more effective. It can also show if its the same ones(by color) and are they becoming too immune to people and need relocation for its own benefit.
Yes we do have the dumbest city administration in the country in edmonton.
Simple solution. The Acme company sells these portable holes. You put them down on the ground and the coyotes fall into them - every time.
We carry bear spray at our dog park because we have seen lots of coyotes.
How is it Chicago likes their urban coyotes but Edmonton can't deal with them?
Eewwwwwwwwwwwwww
Cuz we’ve never seen a canine type of critter actually love tennis balls!
