LAKE ARROWHEAD, Calif. — A coyote grabbed a 2-year-old girl by the head and tried to drag her from the front yard of her mountain home in the third incident of a coyote threatening a small child in Southern California in five days, authorities said.
The coyote attacked the girl around noon Tuesday when her mother, Melissa Rowley, went inside the home for a moment to put away a camera, the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department said in an incident report.
Rowley came out of the house and saw the coyote dragging her daughter towards a street. She ran towards her daughter, and the animal released the girl and ran away, said sheriff's spokeswoman Arden Wiltshire.

This is because of global warming. The food suppy chain has begun its depletion, and now it’s only a matter of time before coyotes attack in waves.

Yet you’ll do 5 years in prison if you shoot one (a coyote).

My brother who’s the DFG biologist down there is supposed to be on Fox with Greta in about 20 minutes regarding these attacks.

Is it still legal to shoot coyotes or are they “endangered species”?

I am dumbfounded by parents who do not stay with their young children. What moron leaves their young child unattended?
In each of these instances, an adult somehow got misdirected long enough for the Coyote to bite the child before they intervened.
When I had young kids, that coyote would have been dead meat before touching my child.

He will......like all liberals, he will make it illegal to shoot them and force the people to feed them on a regular basis. That’s how carzy this country of ours is getting.

Sounds to me like the chidren are the endangered ones.
I guess they can’t get endangered status. They’re just humans.

Will be watching Greta then - what is DFG?
Of course PETA will blame the little girl and mom for being so inconsiderate of the coyote as to scream when it was carrying the child away for its next meal....denying this wonderful creature it’s “natural” ability to seek and find its food....

Rowley took her daughter to a hospital where the toddler was treated for several punctures to the head and neck area, and a laceration on her mouth. She was then flown to Loma Linda University Hospital for further treatment, although her injuries were not life-threatening.
