Floyd Coyote's remarkable journey to Alcatraz Island stands as a testament to the resilience and adaptability of wildlife. Without human intervention, Floyd swam to the island on his own, demonstrating both instinct and bravery. As a native species, coyotes play a crucial role in their ecosystems, balancing populations of rodents and other small animals. Floyd's presence on Alcatraz does not threaten the local bird populations, as some may fear.  https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0q4y95yv4jo

Trapping, often involving inhumane methods like legholds and snares, poses significant harm to coyotes, causing them undue pain and distress. Additionally, relocating them is not a viable solution, as it can lead to disorientation, starvation, and increased mortality risks. Removing Floyd from his chosen home would not only endanger his life but also disrupt the natural dynamics he contributes to.

We urge the authorities and wildlife management in San Francisco to protect Floyd Coyote and refrain from any actions that could harm or displace him. Instead, we should celebrate his unique journey and presence on the island as an opportunity to educate and raise awareness about coexistence with wildlife.

By signing this petition, you are supporting the safety and well-being of Floyd and advocating for more humane and informed responses to wildlife interactions. Let us stand together to ensure Floyd remains free, safe, and respected in his rightful habitat. Sign this petition to protect Floyd Coyote's life and preserve the natural balance on Alcatraz Island.
