I feel bad for the family, but the coyote is probably hungry..After all, between humans and fire on their turf ,it is getting harder for them to find food....

They’ve been killing pets in their yards here in southern Arizona.
I have seen them in downtown Albuquerque waiting for a break in the traffic so they can cross it street safely.
Think of coyotes as giant rats and the solution instantly becomes clear.
That coyote must have been sick. It just stood there while the father scooped up his daughter just a few feet away. Rabid coyotes or those who have lost their fear of humans must be exterminated.
Odd this article popping up this evening as I just took out a big male late this afternoon.
There’s been several of em hangin’ around here for awhile now, but this big fella was a bruiser....no mistaken him. Our neighbor up the road lost their house cat to him a couple of weeks ago. Their security camera verified most of it.
From past hunts, I kinda had a feeling for the trail they were probably using so I got in my old brush stand with my squeaky hurt rabbit call and gave it a try.
Sure enough, 5 minutes hadn’t gone by, and three of em, including the big fella, show up at the edge of the field, but they’re real cautious and wanting to get downwind of where I’m at.....bad mistake. When the big fella crossed my 125 yard marker, he was making “intimate love” to a 50gr Nosler BT.
Predators such as wolves and mountain lions tend to disappear when humans move into their habitat. But coyotes not only thrive in proximity with humans, but their habitat has expanded. They are now even found in places like Vermont.
This is the cause and effect of the extremist bleeding heart liberal PETA antifur movement. This was very rarely a problem when trapping was more common and hungry winter pack populations were thinned. And the Coyotes were healthier for it also. It was common sense management that worked. They have made it so that trapping is not even worth considering anymore. Far too restricted and regulated and they destroyed the market.
Not surprised at all. Second only to vermin wolves.
Where I live we know what to do about them.
Another story on this forum detail a sheep dog that protected the herd by killing eight coyotes.
My kids always had a big dog to protect them from scum animsls and coyotes
If not coyotes it is raccoons and bobcats!!!
