Using semi-structured interviews in the Foothills Parklands Natural Region of Alberta, we explore the meanings of coexistence with coyotes. Within our case study we examine the worldviews defining a spectrum of treatment of coyotes. The continuum extends from: adoration (deep love and respect) to admiration (respect and warm approval), acceptance (appropriate within the ecosystem), ambivalence (mixed feelings, contradictory ideas – neutral), aversion (strong dislike or disinclination), antagonism (active hostility or opposition) to the extreme of annihilation (destroy completely – kill). The disparity in treatment of coyotes we observed was not explained simply as an urban versus rural dichotomy. Yet we document an emergent discourse described as an urban value landscape transgressing the agricultural one, undermining long-held practices of antagonistic killing and annihilation. We explore the experiences that underlie anti-killing sentiments and how understanding these may improve education, support management and inform policy change.
