The discovery of a wild coyote in late 1997 in the Henry M. Jackson Federal Building in downtown Seattle should come as a wake-up call. The United States has a serious coyote problem! From their traditional enclaves in the western desert, these opportunistic canines have now invaded the entire continental United States. They have taken over parks, farms, vacant lots, and now perhaps the downtown areas of major cities. Homeowners report losing cats and dogs to the beasts, and young children are under attack. Enough is enough. Since humans are the only natural enemy of coyotes, we demand that state and federal agencies institute coyote trapping programs. That is the only way to decrease the number of coyotes to a manageable level.

WHAT IS THE AUTHOR'S POINT OF VIEW?

• The author loves coyotes and thinks everyone should adopt one.

• The author feels coyotes are dangerous and should be exterminated (eliminated).

• The author feels that humans are the problem, since coyotes are a natural part of creation.

• The author is neutral/ Has no opinion

What is this author's point of view...I think all students should go to school year round (all year). As an educator, I see many students lose knowledge they have gained from the previous year over the summer. I also see that many students have a hard time getting back into a school routine when it begins again in the fall. I feel school should continue year round with more short breaks (vacation) for students in between.

• school should be held year round (all year)

• the school year should be shorter

• kids should have a longer summer break

• students should have to come to school on the weekends
