Sierra Lakes Golf Club hired animal trapper-killer Lowell Miller (https://lowellswildliferemoval.com/ to kill coyotes.

Lowell Miller snared a coyote by its foot in a modified trap. Leghold traps are banned from use in California except extraordinary circumstances.

His action was also in violation of trapping regulation 465.5(g)(3), which requires written consent from all homeowners within 150 yards.

According to reports, Lowell Miller shot the animal at least 14 times using a pellet gun. We believe cruelly killing the coyote in this way constitutes an act of animal cruelty as defined by California Penal Code 597.
