Speaker 4 (01:10):
And now it's time for bas Sweet Day a day
featuring veteran news anchor kt fun tweets. Here are the
important stories he's currently tracking from around the world.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
All right, we all known for a long time about
the coyote epidemic in DFW right now, but I did
not know about this shady scene that's really been going
on since late summer. It took the convicted tones of
Fox for Steve Eager. Oh yeah, one of the one
of the many news hounds in this town. Right and
(01:45):
Mike Moonlight is a poot hound, so I hear for.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Al rokers Pie, So we got that fake last name.
Steve Eager.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
Beaver is on the case here along with Heather Hayes
and Peyton Yeager. We can stop, we can start and
stop this because counties are just being shot in Dallas.
Speaker 6 (02:03):
Authorities are investigating whether a vigilante is shooting coyotes in
a Dallas neighborhood. Dallas Animal Services says it's investigating three
coyote deaths since August, two of them shot right now.
Authorities don't know who is doing it, but people who
live in the area a little bit rapping by out
of that Fox Sports Peyton Yeger has.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
More, Peyton Steve.
Speaker 7 (02:22):
Yeah, a coyote was found shot dead as recent as
just a few days ago Wednesday. This dead coyote appeared
in our front yard.
Speaker 8 (02:32):
Emily Levine is still left disturbed at the dead coyote
found in her front yard last week.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Okay, stop there, what happens? You wake up? You've got
a dead coyote found in your yard. What do you do?
Speaker 3 (02:45):
I try to find whoever shot it to give them
a reward.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
We how Okay, that's like for saving you're not thinking
about safety.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
I know, yeah, I got a small dog. I don't
want that dog to be a coyote burrito. Okay, all right?
And I think any a vigilante, vigilantie should be rewarded
for stopping crime. If somebody hits a coyote with their buick,
no one's gonna go, oh my god, this coyote was Yeah,
it's gonna eat anything. It's gonna it's a deadly animal
(03:15):
out there with the taste of human flesh and it's
razor sharp teeth.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
I think everyone would be like, you drive a buet
did how much money would it take you to eat
a whole coyote burrito?
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Yeah? You know coyotes are good eating. Yeah, they're a
little gamy, right.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
I thought that Kat had the line of the day
when he said one of the likely suspects for shooting
coyotes just Peyton Jaeger, Because did you say she's a
stone cold fox?
Speaker 2 (03:43):
I did say that. No, I that was off air though. Yep.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
Okay, so dead coyote in yard. Now, keep in mind, Audio,
it's been as a history of treating cowdy stories a
little flippantly.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
That's right. You are the guy that tries to dismiss
coyote danger. So you're okay, Hey, let's just get this
on the record.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Coyote last night across the road right in front of me,
and I sped up, couldn't catch it.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Where are they supposed to go? Where are the ones
building stuff on the land? They have nowhere to go.
Why don't you go adopt the coyote? Then I would
love to. Hey, don't yell at nature girl. Okay, she's
not the nature. You just have two big dogs already.
I don't have no frood. They're not dogs and they're rabbits.
Let me ask you this, but they've been known to
spread it.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
This is her her falling in love with Codyes's just
like when people fall in love with convicts in prison.
They murdered someone, but they look cute. I mean, they
are savages out there.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
You did you did write a letter to one of
the Meninda's brothers. No, I definitely didn't. No, they're usually
just scared of us. They are they are coyotes. Yes,
I just want to get this on record before we
go forward.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
Ben is okay. With gunfiring, quiet neighborhoods.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Here's what I'm saying. Sounds like they used to silence her.
That's a class act. Yeah, it sounds like their professionals.
Sounds like professionals.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Do you know who I know has done no investigative reporting?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Steve Eager. He immediately ruled out another coyote.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
He's had a couple of sentences, and then he moved
it on. How do we not know this in coyote
on coyote, We don't know. We don't know that. We
don't know that. Let's get some more details there, okay, fine.
Speaker 8 (05:18):
Levin's Emily Levine is still left disturbed at the dead
coyote found in her front yard last week. Lavine says
a city wildlife investigator immediately came out to the Lockwood
neighborhood and revealed the coyote had been shocked.
Speaker 7 (05:33):
And I asked her if it was if she knew
if it had been shot in our front yard or
if it had walked, and she said it was hard
to tell, which is not which is not reassuring.
Speaker 8 (05:43):
Monday, Dallas Animal Services confirms to Fox four they've been
investigating a possible trend. Since August, three coyotes have been
found dead in Lockwood. Two were shot to death, the
third was disposed before the city arrived on scene.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
They don't shooting a gun in a neighborhood.
Speaker 8 (06:01):
The neighborhood has been shaken for weeks. Just a few
streets over from Levine, a homeowner sent Fox for surveillance
video from late October where you can hear gunfire, you
can then hear glass shattering at the end. One bullet
went through a home's front window near Eastern Road in
East Lake Highlands Drive.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
No one was hurt.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Ben Okay, Now, you don't want people firing guns and neighborhoods,
but if you, But weren't we doing a story not
long ago about coyotes attacking a baby?
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Yeah, because people left their baby in the front street.
I'm just saying, yeah, have it both ways.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
You can't be worried about the coyotes attacking the babies
and then also be sad when they're dead. Now, I
definitely don't condone people just popping off guns and neighborhoods.
This that was in Lake Islands, that could have been
any number of guns.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
I was gonna say, this is such shoddy reporting. How
do we know that the person was shooting a coyote
and not just shooting stuff in the neighborhood crime riddled
Lake Island.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
This is a gigantic leap here.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
And I'm also confused and frustrated that what's your name,
Elizabeth Levine?
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Who's the homeowner?
Speaker 1 (07:12):
She speaks with the same bizarre cadence that Peyton Jeger does.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
It doesn't make it tough to I can't.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
It's it's very strange, strange.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
We can all agree we don't want vigilantes popping off
shots and neighborhoods, but.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
We can also the crime.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Well, you can also agree that coyotes are a danger
to all small pets.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
It's not mutually exclusive. Yea Christinas wants to sit there
and watch a coyote eat my tiny dog, Christina, get
a bigger dog.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Whoa dunk? Don love it dunked on you? My dog
bows my whole life. Though he's wearing a jacket today.
Speaker 9 (07:48):
He doesn't want that, does he. It's not it's not
to dress up your dog. He's wearing a full parking hey,
I told, I told kat. I was like, you got
a windbreaker on him. He's freezing cold. Give him a
sweater or something.
Speaker 8 (08:01):
More recently, the same homeowner said he heard gunshots again
Sunday afternoon. Dallas police say they responded.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
But no one was injured.
Speaker 8 (08:10):
It's unknown if these incidents are related to the coyote shootings.
Levine with a warning to anyone disrupting the peace in
her neighborhood, don't.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Bring that to our neighborhood. It's too nice of a
place for that, she cried, And the Dallas.
Speaker 7 (08:25):
County game Warden couldn't really go too much into detail about.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
Oh, okay, yes you was drying, yes, really well, no,
but she was shaken by it.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
This is where the neighborhood has been shaken and what
was reported.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
Just keep in mind we are living in a city
right now that has I'm sorry, I'll bring this up
every week.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
We've gone three weeks.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
With no new news on the mountain lion that was
spotted at three different places.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Right all the casultes, I buried it nothing, listen to
the Dallas game warden and.
Speaker 7 (08:57):
The Dallas County game Warden couldn't really go to too
much into detail about the investigation, but wanted to remind
people that coyotes here in urban areas are monitored and
wanted to point out that none of these coyotes have
posed a threat towards humans.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Okay, do you know why the game warden didn't give
any information?
Speaker 2 (09:16):
You didn't have any They don't have anything. Do they
have over there in the creek. There's a coyote. That's
all they got. No, but the gunshot wound God what
a slow week. I'm Steve Eager.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
I was just up in Plano off Beltline Road and
we found an armadillo.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
It had tire marks in it.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
We have no clue as to who killed this armadillo,
but the game boarden says that justice will be served.
A big investigation is underway.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Have you been working on your eager?
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Like, come on, man, it's a rote Like, at what
point is it a story?
Speaker 2 (09:49):
And what point is it not?
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Like if it's a squirrel and it gets hit by car,
is it is it?
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Is it a story?
Speaker 5 (09:57):
There's a difference in hitting an animal on accident and
shooting on a section.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
I will say this, if you tell these vigilantes you
can't shoot it, but you can run it over your car,
you're gonna have cars going crazy and lawns all over
that neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
You can't have cars. That's the new story.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
People woke up and there's tire marks all over their
front yards. People are trying to run over coyotes in
that neighborhood. It's too nice of a neighborhood. As you said, too,
we can't if you woke up with any Let's take
the coyote out of it. It's in the East Dallas.
It's in Lake Highlands. Yeah, nice, nice neighborhood.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
You'll see if you woke up, take the coyoty out
of it to any animal. It could be a rabbit,
it could be a little bigger than that. And it
is a gunshot wound, you'd be freaking out.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Okay, if it's a mountain lion, I'd be grateful, Thank
you for shooting this mountain line.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
They're huge.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
But I don't want people popping off shots in the neighborhood.
But you're talking about Lake Highlands. That is an established
place that's been there for a million years. It's not
like homes of just home developments have recently displaced wildlife.
Where I live, there's giant fields all around me. Yeah,
and I could see, I can understand that, but that's
you know, those coyotes have been like and they're probably
(11:08):
living in a rent house over there.
Speaker 9 (11:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
And there's been gun shots in Lake Island as long
as Lake Island's been there. That's a real common occurrence.
Just gunshots.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
I seek.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
I and Richardson in a very the well developed neighborhood
for many years. Right, It's been there since my house
was built in the sixties, I think early twice. See
a coyote once a week. Seriously, do you pop shots
at him?
Speaker 9 (11:26):
No?
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Is he just sitting in a lawn chair.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
No, they're just they're all over the place now. Sometimes
they're in the park, you know, the fitness center, you know.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Near my eye. What about those babies they were killing
in Lakewood? Wait? What remember they were attacking all the babies?
It was it was our friend, Julie's neighbor.
Speaker 5 (11:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Why is Jallie's neighbors so irresponsible?
Speaker 9 (11:44):
Well?
Speaker 5 (11:44):
Yeah, he was like a two year old kid on
the porch and Harry came in the in the day.
But the story, the story there though, is that the
cops chased him down in the park and shot at him.
And the cops like, okay, so you did you pulled
your gun and shot a gun in the park. So
you were either too close you were you were close
to it and had a good shot out and missed,
or it was far away and so like.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
You it's got a bad police work.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Part of this story, too, is that Julie's neighbor went
on the mom game, got drunk and.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Left her kid in the street. What happened?
Speaker 3 (12:17):
It was like, just left the honey baked ham out
there with the kid. It's like chumming the waters. All
I'm saying is, dude, let's not suddenly act like, uh, look,
I don't want people shooting shots and neighborhoods and like
get after you, but coyotes. Come on, dude, let's not
act like everyone's fighting to save the coyote.
Speaker 5 (12:34):
Must hold our public officials accountable, to give us more
information about what's really going.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
On like that, and I'll vote for you now, like
Mayor Johnson's hiding something.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
All right, I'm gonna leave
Speaker 3 (12:44):
All right, Today game, all right, coming up next, it's
the Today game right here on ninety seven point one
The Eagle
