Petition seeks to move captive coyote from Cook County forest preserve cage to animal sanctuary

A coyote paces in his cage at the River Trail Nature Center in Northbrook on Jan. 5, 2022. Forest preserve officials said the coyote was found in Tennessee by people who took him for an abandoned dog and brought him to a domestic animal shelter. He was kept there for three weeks, socialized and trained to be adopted like a pet. (Armando L. Sanchez / Chicago Tribune)
