I'm more worried about the road runners, they never seem to go away.

Many residents in Greenwood Village (particularly in "The Preserve" live a very privileged, sheltered, protected life. They have a lot of money and are very ignorant and fearful of wildlife. The city caters to their every whim -- and CDOW coddles them.

Coyotes are getting more aggressive throughout the Denver area including in Lone Tree and Highlands Ranch.

I understand the need to control them. In one case a child was bitten and many pets have been lost. Certaily, more education is necessary about the risks of leaving children and pets outside especially around dusk and near open-space areas.
