A Massachusetts town has decided to become the first in the state to contract with the federal government to kill coyotes locals say have killed pets and become a dangerous nuisance. Local officials said eight to 12 coyotes inhabit Nahant, a densely settled town of about 3,300 people on a peninsula about 15 miles north of Boston.
Officials in Nahant, Massachusetts, hired federal officials to kill coyotes. Locals say coyotes have become a dangerous nuisance in the town, and multiple pets have been killed.
Nahant town officials voted on Dec. 7 to enter into an agreement with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services to kill the coyotes using rifles.
