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 viewpoint?

The author feels coyotes are dangerous.

The author loves coyotes and thinks everyone should adopt one.

The author feels that humans are the problem.

Every creature on Earth deserves a chance at life. Unfortunately, many animals do not have a loving, caring place to call home. Although their original owners may not want them, a new home will make all the difference in the world. A snuggly, warm kitten or a friendly, active dog could be just the touch to make your house a home. These wonderful animals make great companions and ask little in return. You should open your heart and your home to these beautiful little rays of sunshine. You will not regret it. This description of pets currently up for adoption was written by the shelter's owner. Which words reveal the writer's positive bias?

"wonderful," "snuggly," and "beautiful"
