Chicago residents warned of 'zombie dogs'
Police call on Chicago suburban residents not to help “zombie dogs”, because they could pick up a sore from coyotes and pass it on to other animals.
The Hannover Park Police Department issued a warning on its Facebook page, stating that coyotes, as a rule, are nocturnal animals, are infected with sarkoptosis (itchy scabies), which causes them to be active during the day.
“Infected animals often look like tortured animals. They suffer from hair loss and also develop secondary infections on their body, which give the appearance of a “zombie dog,” the department said.
Police reported that infected coyotes are not “usually aggressive”, so residents of this area should avoid and keep their pets away, which can become infected with infectious diseases.
“Please do not approach these animals or allow your pets to approach them. You can lure them to your yards and neighborhoods if you leave food or trash," police said.
Coyotes are more common in southern, southeastern, and west-central Illinois, according to the Department of Natural Resources.
