=== Posted 12-9-20 ===Public Notice Regarding Coyotes
Recently a coyote was spotted on the island. To date, we have no additional information, but wanted the residents to be aware. Please be careful with your house pets. Our Animal Control Officer has been notified. Please see his response below about Chebeague Island.

Also, should you have any suggestions as to an appropriate town response, please forward them to Brian Dudley (townadmin@longislandmaine.org) and he will distribute them to the appropriate parties. The town does not want to be disruptive of the deer reduction efforts that have been underway for years now, but perhaps the inclusion of coyotes as a priority might be worth consideration.

From Steve Auffant, ACO, Chebeague and Long Islands: “…About a year ago the Town of Chebeague Island held a special town informational meeting about dealing with Coyotes.

The town had a speaker from the State of Maine Wildlife who provided information and answered questions. The meeting was well attended. One of the main topics discussed was how to protect our pets, and the best suggestion is to not to leave a pet unattended anytime day or night. An “outdoor” cat or dog left alone will not be able to defend against a Coyote attack.

While the Town of Chebeague Island has not provided any Coyote “removal” services, several private landowners have allowed hunters (using the state Coyote hunting regulations) to hunt Coyotes. While the hunting of Coyotes has removed animals, there has not been a method to measure its effectiveness.

Town Animal Control Officers do not directly work with Coyotes. At times we cross paths as several outdoor cats and dogs have been negatively impacted by the Coyotes. Seeing this first hand I would remind all pet owners to be very cautious when letting their pets outside.”
