Coyote trapping to continue for three weeks

Seal Beach will continue trapping coyotes for the next three weeks, City Manager Jill Ingram said at the Monday night, Oct. 13, City Council meeting.

A motion by Councilman Michael Levitt to temporarily suspend the trapping program failed for lack of a second. Levitt, a reluctant supporter of trapping in the first place, objected to the use of carbon-dioxide gas to kill coyotes. However, Levitt made it clear he would support resuming the trapping if pets continued to be killed.
