Since March 6, coyotes have been fingered in a string of attacks against dogs, cats and goats in Lee and Collier counties. Coyotes have killed three small dogs, injured three others, and caused a man who came into contact with the coyote’s saliva and a woman who was bitten by one to have rabies shots.

This is so sad. And didn't have to happen.
The systems in place made this occur. Have all the fundraisers you want.
This officer should be alive, if people did their job.

So sad, once again blame to police.
Good for Wynn's for doing this.

I've found that Wynn's and Aurelio's will always help out with community projects/ fundraisers. They always say yes, and I know they get asked a lot.
Thanks Wynn's.
