I am wrestling with an ethical dilemma that I thought folks might help me
with. I came across a mom coyote at her den with at least 6 pups (maybe 7!)
in suburban Arlington. The den is under a shed in someone’s backyard. The
owners probably know they are there already (the pups make a racket
sometimes) but some people don’t notice things outside their walls. Should
I let the owner of the property know and risk them doing something to
eradicate the coyotes (!) or keep my mouth shut and hope no small children
stray back there and create an incident?
