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.

Coyotes near people should be killed by people. Coyotes out in the wild should be killed by wolves. There’s just no place for coyotes.
Not even close. This is Kevin Rose, founder of Digg. He found a raccoon that had gotten into his house and was attacking his dog. Or Dogg, as the case may be. He grabbed it off of his dog and chucked it down the stairs. If one of those got into my house and went after my cat, I’d shoot it.
cats dont necessarily eat the snakes but they do keep the mice and vermin levels down. Less food for the snakes.
Vermin control. It was attacking his Shiz Tsu dog.
“BS the coyote was looking for something to eat.
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”
An intelligent comment. Thank you
I love raccoons and think they are cute (at a distance) but when they attack pets and KILL/MAIM your children I would eradicate them.
>>This is no where near wilderness.
I was thinking the same thing. Here’s a Google maps link:

Coincidentally, my son texted me yesterday that he had seen a coyote at dusk in Decatur GA, which is very much well inside the urbanized/suburbanized area of the Atlanta metro region. Inside the Perimeter, directly adjacent to the City of Atlanta proper (which is actually fairly small), for those familiar with the area.
My suburban neighborhood (Clearwater, FL area) has lost quite a few cats to coyotes. Or alligators.
Your bottom link is a Mahindra tractor advertisement.........
Nice. See the one I just posted above.
Dang, I should have figured someone would have beaten me to it.
A few years ago we had a Large coyote pack that follows the deer herd onto our property. It became too big and we were seeing kills at the end of our backyard. One of my kids was taking a course at the local elementrry school and waiting for the school bus with the neighbor kids. All 6 to 11. The driveway is about 1/4mile.
I called my local fish and wildlife.gov folks. NEVER, they said, NEVER, has a coyote ever attacked a human.
I called up six coyote attack stories on the net for them, but as they say, the blind don’t see without Divine intervention.
My neighbors believed the government, I didn’t and I accompanied the kids down to the bus in my van every morning.
The neighbor kids used to call me to accompany them on the mornings my kid didn’t go to school.
Once they were out of view of their house.
I let some neighbors know and they cleaned out the pack over the intervening weeks.
Government Fools and their minions!
Yup. We have several packs of coyotes in our area and some have bred with feral dogs. The local PD has a "shoot on sight" if they are spotted in a clear area. I've seen some less than 100 yds from our yard. Lots of people have reported cats missing.
That explains a lot.
Golden Malrin flybait will kill racoons in an instant. (Probably a dog or cat also if they had access to it), but put a pan of it where the racoons are and they will be dead the next day.
I saw a coyote trot through my back yard one cold winter morning. I live in a subdivision in suburban Detroit. We are very close to a creek and large park and the landscape becomes quite rural a mile or two west of us.
Don’t think so. We’ve had all sorts of small animals including cats go missing at night. No coyotes here. One cat that survived had a gash on the side and belly that was a real mess. We’ve found remains below trees on the ridge. Owls don’t leave much.
