A Saskatoon woman who works for the Saskatoon SPCA, Tiffiny Koback, recently caught the site of a pickup truck filled with dead coyotes and reported that she was “devastated” by the sight. Koback witnessed the truck while driving through town last weekend as she was on way to her local coffee shop drive-thru on Sunday. Koback pressed for new legislation to keep such grisly displays out of sight.
Koback actively took a picture of the truck and posted the photo to Facebook, which caused a spree of angry comments as the image was shared by more than a dozen people. Another similar photo emerged of some other truck in December, which prompted almost the same reaction. Acknowledging that hunting coyotes at this time of year is not illegal in south Saskatchewan, Koback stressed that there should be laws that force hunters to cover up the carcasses in their vehicles. She mentioned that “to bring that kind of thing into the city where people are exposed to that, and children are exposed to seeing that kind of thing, is quite visually disturbing.”
The City of Saskatoon does not have bylaws requiring hunters to cover up dead animals. A conservation officer with the Saskatchewan’s Ministry of Environment, Rich Hildebrand, confessed that “esthetically it’s not very pleasing to the eye, possibly, when you see that kind of thing… I guess we would just suggest that if somebody is transporting them like that, they should cover them up with a tarp.”
