Coyotes Roam Decatur, Others Spotted in North Briarcliff

Some Decatur residents are urging the city to do something significant about coyotes in town. Might North Druid Hills require similar assistance?

Coyotes attacking pets and alarming residents are roaming around Decatur, and others have been seen in the North Briarcliff area.

A Decatur woman told Channel 2 news that a coyote killed her cat recently, and she's trying to get the city to do something about it whether it means trapping or killing, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

North Druid Hills and Briarcliff residents are well-acquainted with coyotes, however. They're almost routinely spotted prancing around the area. The North Briarcliff Civic Association sent out a note to residents this afternoon saying they'd been spotted again.
