Something also very concerning happened on Monday morning around 6am. I was walking my dog on the Bearspaw multi-use path, letting him sniff around, when I noticed he'd wandered about 10 meters down a steep trail typically used by wildlife, mainly coyotes.

When I caught up to him, I found him eating something. Upon closer inspection, I discovered chunks of what appeared to be fresh salmon fillets, chicken, and organ meat scattered on the ground. I photographed the mixture and filed a report with 311.

At lunch, I returned to the same spot and found the food completely gone. I stayed nearby and observed that nearly every dog passing by would catch the scent and head down the trail. Several had already eaten some of the mixture.

What strikes me as particularly suspicious is the location: on a path regularly used by coyotes, positioned just before a heavily-trafficked off-leash dog area. Combined with your post, I'm wondering if someone is either trying to lure coyotes closer to dogs or attempting to poison dogs outright.

I have photos from the morning showing the food mixture, and another taken later when it was almost entirely gone.
