There's been a crackdown on coyotes on Griffith Park. Last week, wardens from the U.S. Department of Agriculture trapped and lethally shot a number of coyotes, following a report that a man was attacked by one of the animals. Some visitors to Griffith Park have been outraged by the order to eradicate coyotes. KPCC's Alex Cohen spoke with Kevin Brennan, wildlife biologist with the California Department of Fish and Game, and asked him to explain how they make the decision to trap and kill the animals.
