Bees come to the plant to drink the nectar, and pollen on the plant sticks to the bee's feet. Bees leave some of the pollen on the next plant that they land on. This helps to make new plants."

The discovery of a wild coyote in late 1997 in the Henry M. Jackson Federal Building in downtown Seattle should come as a wake-up call. The United States has a serious coyote problem! From their traditional enclaves in the western desert, these opportunistic canines have now invaded the entire continental United States. They have taken over parks, farms, vacant lots, and now perhaps the downtown areas of major cities. Homeowners report losing cats and dogs to the beasts, and young children are under attack. Enough is enough. Since humans are the only natural enemy of coyotes, we demand that state and federal agencies institute coyote trapping programs. That is the only way to decrease the number of coyotes to a manageable level.

WHAT IS THE AUTHOR'S POINT OF VIEW?

• The author loves coyotes and thinks everyone should adopt one.

• The author feels coyotes are dangerous and should be exterminated (eliminated).

• The author feels that humans are the problem, since coyotes are a natural part of creation.

• The author is neutral/ Has no opinion
