Tucker Parent Council Meets Monday

Midvale Elementary is hosting the year's last TPC meeting.

The Tucker Parent Council holds a meeting on Monday, Dec. 17 at Midvale Elementary School "for a candid discussion about the issues facing our Tucker Schools," according to an email sent by a council member last week.

Unfortunately, the email did not divulge what time the meeting takes place, and there was no response to Tucker Patch's enquiries. The TPC email address is tuckerparentcouncil@gmail.com and Midvale's phone number is 678-874-3402.

"We will be revisiting items left unresolved at the last TPC meeting and will be addressing additional concerns. Regional superintendent Cynthia Brictson will be our guest," the council member added.

Well,in Tucker and many other places it's not humans moving into areas that were once for wildlifeRead More only. The coyotes have no memory of that. This is part of a general acclimitization of wildlife (deer, coyote, fox, turkey - even bear) to suburban and even quasi-urban conditions. Food is plentiful as are hiding places, and enemies are few. Coyotes do not need to be eradicated, but their needs to be a removal and/or sterilization program in areas where coyotes are a threat.

Yes I do believe in protecting wildlife and preserving our natural world as best as possible at thisRead More point. And yes I think we've messed up our planet by over populating as humans. Having said that...now that we have densely populated urban & suburban areas as in the metro Atlanta area including tucker, I think coyotes or rattlesnakes or other carnivorous animals need to be kept to a minimum in densely populated areas...the solution is for us to have zero population growth & preserve lands where wildlife & exist without us encroaching on them...but coyote attacks in backyards 10 miles from the center of a city of 7 million people...nah, something's wrong with that...animal control...do your job!!!

I am unapologetic about our human numbers on this wonderful planet! This bit of land that I careRead More for, "10 miles from the center of a city of 7 million people" is well-fenced. I do think that Animal Control ought to trap and remove coyotes that threaten my pets! Evidently the coyote wasn't rabid, thank goodness! But this was a LARGE animal, large enough to be a threat to small children. If they run and hunt in packs, they would be dangerous to humans, I think. So it's not just pets.
