A coyote looks around in a cooler at a Quizno's Restaurant in Chicago, Ill., Tuesday, April 3, 2007. The animal walked through the propped-open front door and lay down in a cooler stocked with fruit juice and soda. Animal control officers captured the usually shy predator. City workers capture 10 to 15 coyotes every year, especially in the spring when they are most active, said Anne Kent, director of Chicago Animal Care and Control. Veterinarians will examine the coyote and, if he is not injured, release him into the wild. (AP Photo/Sun-Times, Scott Stewart) **CHICAGO OUT, MAGS OUT**

The Colorado Springs City Council will consider allowing residents to get permits to shoot and kill coyotes.

The council will consider an ordinance Monday in response to concerns about aggressive coyotes. Councilwoman Margaret Radford says she proposed the measure after a resident complained of city laws preventing him from hunting coyotes.

Metro Denver has had a rash of conflicts with coyotes this spring.

Over objections from activists, wildlife officers and a private contractor have killed more than 10 coyotes, particularly around Greenwood Village.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals says Colorado Springs should try other means of dealing with coyotes first. The Associated Press
