Wild land animals, coyotes, wolves, mountain lions and sometimes bears, that attack humans are usually just making a living, they need to eat as we all do.
Leftist Response: Pretty STUPID to being a 6 year old boy to a softball game.
This story must be one of those AI generated fakes.
Six-year old humans are easier to catch than road runners, I guess.
I have seen both coyotes and road runners in the parking lot at my work in Scottsdale, AZ. The coyotes here look better fed.
OMG! They are clearly endangered! We need to protect them and not build in areas where they live because we need to protect their delicate habitats! We need legislation to protect the cute, cuddly coyotes, immediately! Governor Newsom, please protect those coyotes and bring me my blanky and a glass of warm milk!
My niece who lives in El Cerrito says they see coyotes walking in the street in broad daylight all the time. Sounds to me like the East Bay hills are turning into a wildlife preserve despite the fact that people are living there too.
After moving to the mountains, I learned that mountain coyotes are more like wolves, and very unlike the scrawny urban coyotes. They can rocket up a mountain at top speed, and it’s like something seen in a horror movie. Very aggressive and scary.
No use for coyotes at all. Maggots with fur. We kill all we can around here but they just infiltrate from other places. Wild hogs provide plenty of food for them besides our domestic animals. They are sneaky, cunning and bold top predators.
Well, there should have been plenty of bats available.
I live a mile from the La Habra Hills, the closest wilderness area, but there are coyotes in this area. They are especially dangerous to cats. My cat Calvin, named for President Coolidge, who vanished without a trace last year, was probably a victim.
coyotes are out of control all over the US and no one is doing anything about it to any great degree.
Mom to the rescue. Where was dad?
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???
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.
It’s a good thing Rabies shots aren’t as bad as in the old days...
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife estimates the state has a coyote population somewhere between 250,000 and 750,000.
put a few dollars bounty on them and kids with 22s will eliminate the threat.
That must have been some famished coyote to try that maneuver without his pack behind him. When I was stationed at Camp Pendleton years ago these critters were out every night running through the Camp working the trash cans but they always ran in packs.
