Police Rescue Hikers Cornered by Coyote
NBC Bay Area ^ | 5/22/16

Posted on 05/23/2016 11:57:33 AM PDT by nickcarraway

Police rescued two people Sunday morning after a coyote cornered the pair as they were hiking in a Burlingame park with their dogs.

At 9:07 a.m., officers responded to a report of a coyote threatening hikers and their dogs at Mills Canyon Park, located on Adeline Drive, according to police.

The hikers were walking on trails inside the park when they stumbled on the coyote. At one point, the hikers became cornered by the coyote, which seemed to be interested in the dogs.

Officers arrived at the scene and were able to scare off the coyote. The officers then safely escorted the hikers and their dogs out of the park.

Police are advising anyone hiking in the area to use caution, especially if hiking with small animals. All animals should be restrained when hiking, as coyotes can view small animals as potential food and larger animals as competition.

Pet owners are also advised to feed their animals indoors, as outdoor feeding can attract wild animals.

Hikers should also avoid feeding coyotes or any other wild animals.

In addition, hikers should not hesitate to scare coyotes by making loud noises and using bright lights.

But if had been someone’s pet dog, in it’s own yard.........
= = = = = = = = = =
That is a completely different scenario... <: <:

The lesser the danger, more likely the pet will get shot.

Can expect to see a sharp increase in Whites being shot by cops to prove they aren’t prejudiced and racist just shooting Blacks or Browns..

Of course, one must point out the irony to the cops who don’t realize that shooting Whites just because they are White is also prejudiced and racist.

Coyotes are vermin. They should be shot on site and we should pay bounty for their hides.

I would bet good money that one or both of the snowflakes’ dogs were in season and they didn’t know it.

Perfectly describes my former S&W model 19 .357 Magnum with 2.5” barrel.

Taking the dog with him.

No sense punishing the dog because it has idiot owners.

I can also conjour up the two ‘brave owners’ tossing the dog to the coyote....hopefully by then the rest of the pack would be showing up.

Remember civilization? When we didn’t have to worry about wild animals eating us or our domestic animals?

How do two hikers with two dogs get “cornered” by one coyote?

1) It was in San Francisco.

2) Article gave it away with the generic "two people" and no description of the dogs.

3) IOW, two fairies out being manly with their tea cup puppies.

I usually just use 12 gauge with #4 shot.
At close range they explode like a watermelon dropped off a four story roof.

There’s still an ACME Company out there.
They still do mail order sales, I buy a lot of my parts and materials from them.

“Nation of buttercups.”

No joke. Any adult male who can’t beat the crap out of a coyote with a walking stick should hand in his man card.
