I am on the warpath to get these "healthy" trails cleaned up so we can at least see the predators! Seems they have more rights to healthy walks, than us. If it were MY pet - I would be given some type of ticket and my dog would be in quarantine. Coyotes mixed with wolves? Nope. Free to eat whoever they desire.
Chicago had TWO bites. Two days ago. One was a child in lincoln park zoo -- it was the child's fault for surprising the vicious animal.
The man that was attacked from behind? well, he had no witnesses so maybe it wasn't a coyote. The last count for Chicago was 2000 yotes in 2014. Any guesses how high those numbers are now? Why are they so protected when there are so many of them?? ug. very unhappy |
I get CBS News flashes on my cell phone. A few days ago I received a story of Up state NY in a town like city someone took videos of coyotes trotting on the sidewalks. 2 reports of coyote attacking one child that was bitten on the head and arms outside in front of a museum, another attack was on a man. The article read the coyotes are coming into cities because the food source is plentiful and easily accessible especially in the winter where there is less in the open fields. It also said coyotes are no longer afraid of ppl.
