The city is setting box traps as it tries to nab and euthanize a coyote that has killed one dog and possibly injured two others in the Beaches.
City officials have spent weeks trying to drive the animal away from homes along Neville Park Boulevard, near Queen Street East and Victoria Park Boulevard.
The city became involved in the coyote hunt after learning that the animal killed a six-year-old Chihuahua in February and may have attacked two more dogs in recent weeks. Residents say several cats in the area have also gone missing.
It is against the law for city workers to move the animal to a new location in the wild so it will be euthanized once it is caught.
A representative from Coyote Canada has expressed concerns that someone in the neighbourhood may be feeding the animal, saying it probably would not stay among humans for so long otherwise.
Animal Control is telling people not to leave garbage out and to keep an eye on their pets.
