Overview
- Delivery to some homes in a Carson neighborhood, including parts of Moneta and Maleta avenues, is suspended because carriers reported aggressive coyotes.
- Several neighbors first received a form letter blaming a dog before USPS told them the wrong notice was sent and the real concern was coyotes.
- USPS directed affected customers to collect mail at the local post office, creating hurdles for older or mobility-limited residents who worry about missed bills and late fees.
- State wildlife officers euthanized a coyote tied to several recent attacks on children and an adult, and they are testing DNA to confirm whether it was involved in other incidents.
- USPS has not said how many homes are affected or when doorstep delivery will resume, despite requests from local reporters for specifics.
