A 2-year-old girl is recovering after she was bitten and dragged by a coyote at a Southern California cemetery.
The Orange County Register reports Klarissa Barrera, of Long Beach, was given a rabies shot and treated for a 2 1/2-inch gash on her calf.
She was attacked 10 feet from her mother Thursday as the family visited a relative's grave at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Cypress.

How many cats have you lost to rattle snakes?
I don’t know that we have ever lost a cat to the snakes. With the cats around we have fewer snakes, fewer snakes means less threat from snakes to both human and animal life.
The DNR hauled the infernal things *back* to our area to “control the deer”.
They didn’t even touch deer.
They hung around pastures waiting for the cows to calve and dragged them literally out of their mothers and ate them.
First we were not allowed to ‘harass’ them but now, after the rampant slaughter of livestock, nobody cares what you do to them.
A pack backed my dad down the ridge one time.
They meant to take him but he got to his truck and rifle before they attacked.
If you can somehow get a bunch of King Snakes on your property, you won’t have *any* rattlers.

Be careful, inTn.
There is no doubt that a raccoon is beautiful and the kits are as cute as can be...but if they get too comfy, they will invade your house.
A couple of years ago I had a comfy mama decide to have her babies in my attic...two years in a row. There are very few houses they can’t find a way to get in. The damage was unbelievable. Ruined insulation, ruined a/c ducts, filth, ruined furnace-a/c. The babies clawed their way thru the ceiling and dropped into my house. I can’t even to tell you about that damage...or getting them out of the house.
It was the nightmare from he!!.
Small child like that is just like a fawn or other small critter coyotes regularly feed on.
Coyotes are predators that feed on animals smaller then them selfs
What time of day did this happen? Coyotes hunt at night.
Sounds good if I could keep them around. Even though I don’t even feed them they feed themselves, the cats want to stay. Occasionally I may shoot a rabbit and give it to them. They also get all the gophers I trap but for the most part they feed themselves on mice and rats. No mice and rats no snakes.
A person is just dreaming if he thinks he can kill a coyote with one.
Might scare one off if you hit it but that's about it.
True..some nights I can hear coyotes, very close near the wetlands.
I understand. We killed the rattle snakes and let the bull snakes alone to get the mice.
I never let them hang around they are disposed of in short order.
Ain’t that the truth. I grew up on a couple of farm/ranches. I’ve owned a couple of ranches. Kinda still do. Did not see a wrist rocket, until my sons were 9,6 and 5. They all got one that Christmas. They already had BB guns, and the oldest his first 22, but those Whamo Wrist Rockets were a competition, that lasted for many years.
I occasionally hear a cat getting taken by an owl. I know it’s an owl because it happens at night, I hear the cat scream and whatever takes it does so silently whereas the coyotes generally are not.
Think river runs close by this cemetery..either San Gabriel or Santa Ana.
Would explain possible river dens nearby. Strange during day...
I don’t “dispose” of them...but I do lure them to different areas. Everything in nature has a purpose. But I’m lucky, I can do that. I’m in a rural area.
I’d say your cats are being taken by coyotes, not owls. You’d hear a ruckus if it was an owl.
Huh?
Dems big dogs and that even close to being a rural area for....
