West Wildwood - I'm surprised this needs to be said, but I guess I was surprised when I learned it about 25 years ago too...The County brings coyotes onto the barrier islands to deal with nuisance pests and rodents and have done so for decades. Those of you who are "scared" and think its a "problem" are simply misinformed.

Moderator's Note: 
Per a previous Herald report, the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife website addresses this, saying, “Contrary to public opinion, Fish and Wildlife has never imported coyotes at any time in the past, although there is evidence that private citizens throughout the state have done so prior to 1950.”
