LONG LIVE JAWLESS JERRY
*See update below*
Just in the last few months, this coyote has endured sub-freezing temperatures, being chased by numerous people and cars, and at least one failed attempt at trapping.
She traverses multiple neighborhoods across miles of the city in a day’s time, survives off of rotten fruit, roadkill, and garbage, and does it all with only half a face.
She’s tough AF and deserves as much respect as any animal in Tacoma.
We made these stickers and shirts because this is a moment in time that people will remember for years to come.
Some of you will have feelings about that, and you’re entitled to whatever opinions you may have.
The situation with Jawless Jerry is complicated and there’s very little anyone can do to help without breaking very specific laws that are in place for good reasons.
So in lieu of helping this particular animal, we’ll be donating 10% of the profits to local wildlife rehabilitation centers who do hard work with countless other animals year-round.

*UPDATE: The stickers have sold out and the shirts are going fast but we're still taking orders. We're going to print more and have them out ASAP but please be patient. Shoot us a DM if you have any questions.
PS- If you have no idea who Jawless Jerry is, you can see some posts on our Instagram page from September and October.
PPS- Coyotes probably don’t care much about pronouns but in the interest of scientific specificity, yes, “Jerry” is almost certainly a female. This is based on some recent and awkwardly up-close video footage from a motion-sensor camera.
