make sure the area is clear of other dangerous animals.
#6. Governor spends $50,000 and starts a coyote awareness program for people who live in the area.
#7. State legislature spends $2 million investigating how better to handle rabies and how possibly to
eradicate it.
#8. Governor's security agent fired for not stopping the attack and letting the Governor try to
intervene on his own.
#9. Cost $75,000 to train new security agent.
#10. PETA protests the relocation of the coyote and ties up the Legislative committee on Fish and Game for a minimum of one afternoon.
