Waste of Resources
- A coyote ranged over the lake ice off 59th Street for more than an hour this morning, but had moved on by the time animal control workers showed up to coax it back to shore.
"We patrolled the area but did not find any animal," said Brad Powers, spokesman for the city's Animal Care and Control office.
The coyote was spotted around 10 a.m. and traveled between 57th and 59th streets as helicopters hovered overhead. It did not appear injured.
Wild animals wander onto the ice all the time. It's what they do.
Sometimes they fall in and die. It's what happens.
Coyotes are classified as a pest in Illinois and hunt-able year-round with very minimal restrictions. To expend valuable helicopter time (which runs into thousands of dollars per hour) and risk human life (pilots, divers, etc.) is shortsighted and an almost criminal waste of resources. The circle of life involved death, too.

And you wonder why our city state and county are on the verge of bankruptcy
The yuppies watching from their condos were blowing up 911 by crying and complaining?
"Why aren't you guys doing anything about that poor animal out on the ice?"
Kind of like the idiots demanding a Police response when their stupid mutt jumped into the water after a duck... And the stupid mutt was tied to a folding chair when he jumped into the drink.
>Glub-Glub<
Multiple bad locations until a responding unit found the caller who ran up to the Copper and said:
"Aren't you going to jump in and go get my dog?"
Well... We ALL know the answer to that one...
Marine Unit dispatch for a recovery. >Snicker!<
Lots of crying on the cell phone about "The cops aren't doing shit!"
Uh-huh... Stuffing Poochie's wet and dead ass in their mailbox was the agreed to play.
These people lose their minds over animals doing animal shit but they don't care if first responders get hurt or killed effecting the rescue of a critter that doesn't want it.
Bunch of fucking loons...
Amen to that. Especially for a yote. It's not like they were endangered or a rare and valuable species. However, I must say that if get several prime yote hides, you can have a mighty fine, and warm, coat made from them.
If a coyote wandered onto the ice it isn't too smart. That's why nature takes it.
Normal person.
We should raise taxes so that things like this don't happen again. The lake should be safe for coyotes to walk out on.
Rahm.
Off topic....Dougherty dimaria gormon ssid Davis Aguilar do u really think we believe the bs that none of you knew about the letter not being sent?and now you guys are asking for the members votes.who is more stupid you or the members.citywide wide team is a joke.and clean slate ain't that clean. Don't really want to go with dean Angelo and most of his slate but in reality this is the only choice considering the choices.let dean and company fuck up and me can remove them.we the members control fop and the officers don't.
I disagree, that coyote is worth saving over half the human population of this city.
Yotes are public enemy# 1. Even this liberal state let's you hunt them year round.
There is a reason we killed them off over 100 years ago.
I agree! What next,call in an airstrike?It's just a dog on crack!Leave them alone!
Get out there with a carbine and take care of business. Put that on the afternoon news.
In case anybody's wondering, the 2 CFD helicopters cost $2000.00 a dollars an hour to fly not including personnel costs.
In New York the NYPD flies the exact same make of helicopter CFD does and performs both the search and rescue the CFD does and the law enforcement duty the 2 CPD helicopters do.
Must be nice to live in a city flush with cash.......
A coyote is considered a pest in the rural areas of the state, but Hyde Park liberals think they'd want a coyote for a pet, so we have to have this type of response off 59th St.
Stupid.
It's just for practice man. When someone or thing worth going after goes in you want them to have a little experience, right?
The yuppies,hipsters and bohemian retards have infected this country with their sissy,goofy,utopian ideas and values, wish THEY would fall in the lake, an animal I might save, those useless morons, definitely not....

I thought you said you all right spider.
>>> SCC: "Coyotes are classified as a pest in Illinois and hunt-able year-round with very minimal restrictions." <<<
That's what I thought too, SCC. That is until a couple months back when a call came in about a Coyote running loose in Grant Park. Lo-and-behold that Dispatch was informed by the IL DNR for the coppers not to mess with it, that Coyotes are a 'Protected Species' in IL, so they didn't.
Now that sounded f--ked up to me, I recall what you said, but that's what went down. Granted the IL DNR 'guy' could have been talking out of his butt as many of them are tree-hugging eco-nazis who want to hug Wolves.
Animal Control won't come out for raccoon or opossum calls because there are too damn many of them in the city. Unless YOU, Mr/Ms homeowner, can corral it!
Our response should be the same: no first responders will respond for an animal outside, whether a coyote stuck on ice or a cat whose humans foolishly let it out (to be run over by a car or stolen or shot for trespass or whatever - if Kitty's "stuck" up that tree why aren't ALL the trees littered with cat skeletons?) But this would require supervisors and calltakers getting on the same page.
If you love it DON'T set it free!
What if it was your coyote?
CFD Dornocher has them bamboozled. They had a chopper and 8-10 pieces if equipment on land looking for someone and then a dog on Sunday morning at Oak St. beach when the Police Marine Unit had already cleared the ice of three people and told the fireman that, but he and his firemen don't listen to those Marine Unit guys because he's protecting posiyions that are NOT NEEDED. Hey bean counters...how do you justify spending all that money for nothing and risking first responder's lives for nothing. Looks like the Police Marine Unit can do with 4-6 guys what takes CFD 40-60 guys. What a joke. Cant wait to get out of here and save my tax money.

If you think cuy-yotes are Public Enemy #1 then you've never really been the police in this town.
I could taken it with my 22-250 and had a nice pelt.
>>>Coyotes are classified as a pest in Illinois and hunt-able year-round with very minimal restrictions<<<
Can I nominate another type of "pest" for this category?
Shoot them!!!! They killing all the deer that I wanna shoot:(
This is fucking awesome. If there's a vicious dog terrorizing a block chasing people and you call for animal control the dispatchers tell you they'll be out next week.
Funny thing was that WGN was getting calls that THEIR chopper was scaring the shit out of the coyote making it go further out on the ice!

Love Dean and my son Dean Jr.
If we save just one coyote. It's for the coyotes... 91/2.
What's with all your anti-animal comments (dog/coyote/whatever)? Most departments use these incidents not only to do good (as in save an animal's life), but to also practice their rescue and recovery plans. Guess you never heard the saying: real men are kind to animals.
Same thing on the northside Tuesday as well, earlier in the morning. My wife saw two helicopters and a rescue boat up near Foster Beach to rescue a dog on the lake around 0830.
Waste of resources. Let nature run its course!
Leave the poor coyote alone. The animal is just trying to survive.
If you want to find some real waste of tax dollars just drop by city hall. They piss away $millions every day.
Yay for the coyote. God gave man dominion over animals so that we may help them not harm them. If we have the means, why should we not help?
May you come back as a coyote in your next life and face no compassion.
Dangerous work, and not worth the risk of human life -- people with families to take care of, out over the lake ice in the winter. Not just to salve immature people's emotional overflow.

They are good for some things. The collar on my parka is coyote, keeps wind and snow off my neck.
The meat is good for pet food or poor people. The rest can be ground up for fertilizer.
The tenderloin of coyote is good if cooked properly with a nice sauce. Tastes like chicken.
Let the PETA people go over to Sochi and protest the killing of tens of thousands of feral dogs; see how the Russians will treat them. The fresh water over there looks like dark ginger ale. And glows in the dark. What a country, yikes!
Send a copter to "save" the coyote, but when you need it while searching yard to yard for armed subjects it: weathers too bad, doesn't meet the criteria etc etc......
@ 12:39-
I was thinking I could have taken it with my 22-250 or my .204 from LSD
Wonder who would have shit there pants then?
My IN. neighbors go inside and grab their .223's when they spot Co-yotes out back in the field. We can't get a Helo when you're searching for an Offender though, correct?
Come on SCC, he's cute and cuddly!
Animals on the whole know how to protect themselves granted sometimes they need our help but they are much more intelligent than given credit for your right too much zort to help a coyote who probably knew what he/she was doing.
Your heartless LoL its called Nature
Was this a four leg coyote or the one bringing more illegals to this shit hole?
Tally ho!
Mayor Quimby: Are these morons getting dumber or just louder?
Quimby's Aide: Dumber, sir.
Never trust a coyote. It is not a dog.
Citywide true to form at the retiree breakfast this morning. They started arguing with the old guys. Very pathetic.

Thanks for your input, Eddie Munster. A disabled guy who has worked full time while on disability will send our credibility soaring!!!!

We're not anti-animal...
We're just anti-stupid people...
This city is fucking LOUSY with these lip smacking holier-than-thou, cat-eye glasses wearing, Vespa riding, culottes & waist-coat wearing with the matching ankle sock, scarf and beret wearing "is it a girl?/is it a boy?" bohemian hipsters and yuppie lib-tards who scream and cry on the fucking phone for The Police to "do something."
You people are out of your everlovin' trees...
How did these creatures survive when this part of the country was under a 2 mile thick slab of ice?
"Well... That was a long time ago!"
Whatever happened to common sense here in Chicago?
"Guess you never heard the saying: real men are kind to animals."

Uh-huh...
That's why we laugh when a critter in a zoo claws a week's worth of shit out of an inattentive yuppie ass.
Or the "bear whisperer..."
All they found was an empty can of bear spray and scattered piles of shit with chewed bits of clothing mixed in it...
GTFOH with that crazy talk...
You would have been trying to kiss the cougar running around in Roscoe Village...
That's what's wrong with a lot of you lib-tards, your self preservation instinct is all fucked up and you always want to put other people in dangerous situations to secure your "feel good" fix.
Granddaddy told us about m/fers like you...
Now that's a total embarrassment. What a waste. Who's the boss that ordered that? They should be clipped for endangering human lives.
Ya, save the coyote until it eats a rich liberal's rat sized dog. Then said liberal gets a FOID, buys an ar15, goes to gun safety class and gets a hunting license. Look out coyote!
Whatever it costs the City to put on its little "Air & Water Rescue Show" was a bargain in that it kept the whiny libtard asshats quiet. All the moaning, groaning, beefing and bitching that Rahm would have had to listen too if the City didn't do everything in its power to save (basically) a stray dog.
Remember all the whining over shooting the cougar?
The idiots feel the same way about deer. "Please don't shoot Bambi." They are rats with antlers. Tasty rats, to be sure.
I wonder how The Alaskan Police handle all the Polar Bear on ice calls? They must be constantly busy. Lucky they don't have a million high rises with old people watching. BTW, before I forget- FU Rahm.

What you mean, "we?"
Be "low-impact" and "sustainable." TAkE PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.
YOU paddle out there into Arctic ice-hell in your $2500 synthetic-plastic kayak and haul him in --without getting your face bitten off.
This I gotta see.
Idiot.

"Reduced Carbon footprint" should mean the difference between these enviro-loons getting kicked in their asses with a size 10 boot instead of a size 12...
this was a test run for the soon to be shot "dances with coyotes", starring kevin kostner---
I like coyotes, like them much better than gang bangers. We should be free to hunt gang bangers as worse pests.
Also, coyotes help keep down the population of worse pests - Canadian geese pooping everywhere are a huge problem.
No where else in North America allows geese to poop everywhere.
