A 6-year-old Southern California boy was dragged and attacked by a coyote at a softball game ..
Enoch Palomar was attending his sister’s game at Del Amo Park in Carson when the attack unfolded...
A person filming the action on the field captured audio of Enoch’s screams as the wild animal was biting him behind the softball field. ,
....
“It just kept biting me and I was trying to kick it,” Enoch told KTLA. “It was too fast and it just jumped. I was trying my hardest and then it didn’t work, and then I yelled.”
Enoch’s mom, Melissa Palomar, heard his screams and sprinted over to help him.
...
In recent years, California’s coyotes have been wandering into urban areas, where they’re known to go after small dogs.
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife estimates the state has a coyote population somewhere between 250,000 and 750,000.

I live in North Fort Worth which has really been built up in the last 20 years but there are still sightings of coyotes every morning on the ND page. There are also, at least 3/4 of the respondents saying we stole the coyote’s’ land, and they should be protected. Unbelievable how many dingbats have moved to Texas.
I've said the same thing many times. Not evil, just nature.
How did a 6-year-old get dragged by a coyote at a softball game filled with people? Didn’t anyone see it approaching? Didn’t anyone run up to it as soon as it looked like it was going to attack???
at what point does FWC, or whatever org, puts together a streamlined program to KILL them. We have a python hunt in FLA every year. We should something very similar for coyotes but on a very large scale.
One reason I stopped having cats is because I was tired of feeding the coyotes.
I had two beautiful white cats that were brother and sister.
One disappeared and the other just cried and cried it was so sad.
All the wildlife displaced by development are moving back in, coyotes, skunks, opossums, raccoons, hawks have all returned to urban areas and they are not one bit fearful of man.
A friend of mine was walking on a parkway in Charlotte, behind some residential homes. He saw some young children playing in their backyards.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw something rushing at him. It was a large coyote. He began kicking and stomping the critter. After a long ordeal, he stomped the animal to death.
He decided no one would believe him, so he went back to his truck to get his phone, intending to take a picture of it. He also brought a large knife.
When he got to the spot where he killed the coyote, it was gone. He was looking all over for it when he saw the vicious animal charging him again. He had another long battle with it and eventually stomped it to death again. In the process, he broke a couple bones in his leg. This time he slashed the animal’s throat to make good and sure it was dead and he hung it up in a tree. He then called the police.
It turned out the coyote was rabid. My buddy had a couple scratches and a broken bone. Doctors monitored him and he never had to take rabies shots.
That coyote could easily have killed those small children playing in their backyards.
My friend never goes in the woods anymore without a large knife.
My son was about that age when he came in from playing in the yard to tell me there was a coyote hunched down and creeping up on him from the field next to the yard.
Our border Collie / Australian Shepherd mix ran it off.
Good boy, Charlie.
They’re not getting shot at enough to make them afraid.
It’s a good thing Rabies shots aren’t as bad as in the old days...

put a few dollars bounty on them and kids with 22s will eliminate the threat.
“ They can rocket up a mountain at top speed, and it’s like something seen in a horror movie.”
20 gauge shotgun will take care of that problem.
Plenty of coyotes in North Texas, too. Saw one strolling down the street. A few hundred yards from an elementary school. They’re more common in the rural areas.
Nah, they were all watching the game...
The idiots among us pressed for laws punishing people who do the natural act of eliminating dangerous predators that harm people and domestic animals.
And many,if not all,public sports forbid means of protection.
It will take a county to put it all together as a model for the rest of the country. Otherwise, no one is moving. Pure laziness.
County meeting. Sheriff. Civilian Marksmanship Programs and Gun Shops. Call for volunteers and PSAs. Registration. Training. Planning.
Execution. After-Action. Publish.
Now, a smart governor would use this opportunity to bolster the state militia or sheriff auxiliaries. One can dream.
I know they’re doing it in GA, probably by county (could be state approved) but we need to do it country wide as the coyotes have no natural enemy (except the car) and they breed like cats.
