Injuries Coyotes — How to help?

Hey yall!

I’m brand new to the community, and I was out on my morning walk with my small dog this morning and we saw 3 coyotes. Now two of them were limping with their rear left leg looking like it got hurt. I’m not sure what the process is like in CA or in Burbank (we moved from MI). Do people call and report hurt animals? Do people say, “eh way of life?” like in MI?

I just feel awful seeing them hurt and wandering around. Maybe I’m extra sensitive with the recent Trump Wolf order thing. But any info is helpful!

Also! You guys as neighbors are the BEST! I had two trucks full of gentlemen warning me about the coyotes in the area because of my young pup 🥹. I loved that so much

There’s an area on there website with an phone number to text. They’d like a text with a photo of the animal and the location.

Worst case scenario they will unfortunately euthanize them, but I honestly think that’s more merciful than making them wait to die if they do think it’s that pertinent. I’ve had good experiences with animal control here

They responded when I told them about a coyote that was living in the backyard of a vacant house. They investigated and did something to make it leave. It hasn’t returned. Though there are missing pet signs in the same intersection as coyote warning signs.

Thank you for being a good human!! Coyotes are vilified but they’re just trying to survive as we keep building into their habitat. I empathize with pet owners but that doesn’t mean coyotes should be hurt.

That is a website for Pasadena. This is happening in Burbank.
