The Fountain Valley City Council has banned feeding or disturbing wildlife on city property to protect residents and their pets from interactions with coyotes—following an incident in June when a 2-year-old girl was attacked by a coyote at a local park.

The ordinance was unanimously approved 5–0 Oct 4.
