Inside the Liberty Village coyote fight: How bloody attacks and clashing views roiled a Toronto neighbourhood
The glass dome on the Allan Gardens Conservatory was shaking Wednesday morning, as drumming group Buffalo Charging played a thundering tribute to two coyotes that were shot and killed this week in Liberty Village by the City of Toronto. It was a song, the group said, the animals could dance to in the spirit world.
Anishinaabe grandmother Vivian Recollet, asked by the city to lead a ceremony reopening of one of the site's buildings, told attendees during her speech that the coyotes had been victims of humans' chronic carelessness with nature.
