In the Lake Las Vegas area, there has been an alarming increase in incidents of coyotes biting people, including a young girl outside the Lake Las Vegas Village grocery store. The Henderson Police Department and the Nevada Department of Wildlife have issued warnings to the public against feeding wildlife, emphasizing that such behavior leads to coyotes losing their fear of humans and posing a greater threat. The police are particularly concerned about the rise in coyote attacks and are asking for cooperation from the public to stop feeding the animals to prevent further incidents.
