City Officials, Management Company Refuse to Help Elder Couple Terrorized by Coyotes Under Their Home

Imagine you are a senior citizen, and the only asset you have is the home you own. Imagine that your spouse is sick and you are their sole caregiver. Now imagine that coyotes have made their home underneath yours, bringing vermin and causing damage to the property — not to mention presenting a clear and present danger to your ability to enter and exit your property. Then imagine you try to seek help from housing management and animal control to remove the coyotes, and they essentially pass the buck or tell you to go pound sand.

Laura Conrad and her husband don't have to imagine — they are living it. Three guesses which state they live in?

An elderly couple in Rancho Cucamonga says they are being terrorized by a pack of coyotes living underneath their home.
They say the animals are causing damage, and they’re not getting the help they need to remove them.
Laura Conrad says she believes the coyotes have been there for approximately three to four weeks, perhaps longer. She’s made several calls to get them removed, but nothing has worked.
Inches from where Conrad comes in and out of her mobile home, there’s an access point.
“I have a family of coyotes living underneath my mobile home,” she says.
Video taken from underneath the home shows darkness and two little eyes staring right back at the camera.

WATCH:

This is the kicker: Unless the management company at her trailer park reports the issue, animal services cannot act. But the management company refuses to report the issue because Conrad owns her own trailer.

Make it make sense.

Conrad has reached out to management at the park, who told her it’s her responsibility. “They told me because I own my mobile home and I don’t rent it, that… they might do something if I rented my mobile home,” she says.

This is what California does. The taxpaying, law-abiding citizens suffer under red tape and bureaucracy, and when they try to address it, they get disregarded or dismissed. While the homeless, welfare recipients, and illegal aliens (but I repeat myself) get gobs of help, attention, and local and state money; money that comes from taxpayers like the Conrads.

What Would You Do? Giant Roach Lands on Reporter During Live Shot, and Her Reaction Is Incredible

In a sane world which honors gun ownership and property rights, Conrad could trap or kill the coyotes, then have animal services clean up after her. But according to California's whackadoo environmental laws, Conrad would be subject to criminal prosecution if she killed the coyotes or attempted to trap or relocate the wild animals.

A spokesperson with Rancho Cucamonga Animal Services Department tells KTLA that Conrad’s property managers would have to report the den to them and allow access on the property so they can come out and make an assessment.
They said, in part, “If evidence of a den is found, Animal Services will provide guidance on the appropriate next steps, which may include coordinating with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.”

We have seen over the last several years how California responds to disasters. Currently in the city of Los Angeles, they are attempting to manage a massive water main break that has closed down sections of major intersections like Santa Monica and Sunset Boulevards. So, getting help to deal with a coyote den? Good luck with that.
