The town of Nahant 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.

The work will likely take place next month, he said. “When an animal becomes too comfortable, it becomes habituated, there's no changing the behavior of that animal," he said. “So you eliminate it and continue to work on the behavior of the ones that remain.”animal complaints in New England and many other suburban areas. Wildlife authorities have long discouraged residents from leaving pet food outside for that reason.
“What needs to happen is people need to take wildlife conflict resolution seriously,” said Magner, who described the town's plan as “let's kill some and see what happens.”
