Three dogs have reportedly been killed by coyotes in San Francisco’s Crissy Field this month, worrying pet owners who frequent the green space.
The predators seem to have started appearing in the area months ago, according to Martha Walters, the chair of the Crissy Field Dog Group. Walters told KQED that the group began to look into increased coyote sightings in late April. Since then, Walters has reportedly received over 100 reports from people coming into contact with coyotes.
Walters believes the coyotes might be coming from the Presidio since the Tunnel Tops, a park built over Highway 101 that connects the Presidio to Crissy Field, opened in 2022.
