Coyotes kill woman on hike in Canadian park

[Josephus]

Come now. That's pure scaremongering. Most singer-songwriters are gay and thus don't breed.

Pfft you think most of everything is gay.

*cough* Rufus Wainwright *cough*

*cough* Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Paul Simon, Alanis Morissette, Kate Bush....*cough*

Non gays are up 6-1 so far...want to go on?

Indeed. Like most things that he says, it was utterly foolish.

How bizzare. When was the last time that wolves attacked a person, let alone a coyote?

I don't think this was a case of a coyote being attacked by wolves.

Wolf attacks, while extremely rare, do happen.  I've never, ever heard of a coyote attacking a person though.

Why wouldn't they, domestic dogs do it regularly.

[Maximus]

Because coyotes are among the smarter of the dog family. The domestic dog is at the bottom of that particular ladder.

Because they're generally small and cowardly.

[Jaron]

maybe there was pups involved? or she cornered them?

I thought that was an old world thing. I don't remember ever reading of an unprovoked wolf attack in North America.

I think maybe something happened to her first and the coyotes just defiled her corpse as is their habit with corpses.

[Razgovory]

Coyotes are scavengers and small game hunters. As far as I'm aware it is very unusual for them to even attack something as large as a deer unless it's sick/wounded.

Well, a chick who lives in my town found a coyote in her yard a few years back trying to corner a deer in her garden.  She yelled for her husband to "do something" and he got his shotgun and attempted to fire a warning shot over the coyote's head, but hit it instead.  It still managed to get away, though.  Anyhoo Bambi was saved.

Should've let the coyote eat it.  There are too many damn deer down south as it is.

(not here though - this is caribou country)

I imagine nobody wants a deer carcass in their yard

If you read the article you would know that other hikers heard her screams for help, came to her aid, and when the authorities arrived she was still alive.

I think some chick was killed by a wolf in Canada a few years back, and before that some grad student at a research station in northern Manitoba or something died from a wolf attack.
