Noted: The UW Canid Project currently tracks and traps coyotes on the West Side but can’t do the same on the East Side. Last October, a community meeting was held after four dogs were killed on the east. At the meeting, hosted by the city of Madison and Dane County, the UW Canid Project said they could help by monitoring problem coyotes and then having them euthanized by the DNR, but that plan fell through.
“We are constantly struggling to fund our project,” said David Drake, a UW professor who heads the project.
