With wolves you say, no..... They couldn’t have gotten the aggression from them, all those city living swampy eco activist claim wolves have never attacked a human.
But seriously though, coyotes down deep south can grow balls but just a shot will run them off or even a yell. Those northern ones in wolf country need to be put in another class; that is like having a convict breeding program.
Its rare up here but does happen. many of those city dwellers love to brag about going on their walking "tours" in the woods/national parks etc, but never seem to take into account what any kind of animal for that matter can do to them if the circumstances are right. Rabies etc.
Although I don't think we are allowed carry a gun in our parks, so eh.
Maybe they should take lessons as a Ninja well versed in knife play before heading into the woods.
"Coyotes kill teen folk singer in Cape Breton park."
A young Canadian folk singer who had just set off on a solo tour to boost a promising musical career died Wednesday after being mauled by two coyotes in what is believed to be one of the country's first fatal attacks by the animals. Taylor Mitchell was hiking alone in the Cape Breton Highlands National Park on Tuesday afternoon when a pair of coyotes attacked her, leaving her critically injured with bite wounds covering most of her body. The 19-year-old singer's screams for help were heard by at least two other hikers, who rushed to the Skyline Trail and called 911 at around 3 p.m. as the animals continued their brutal attack on the young Toronto woman.
Mitchell, who was on a three-week tour of the region to promote her debut CD, was to play in Sydney on Wednesday night when she decided to go for a hike in the scenic park.
Mitchell, who had about a dozen concert dates in the Maritimes, was rushed to a local hospital and then airlifted to Halifax. She died at about 3:30 a.m. Wednesday, police said.
Paul Maynard of Emergency Health Services said she was already in critical condition when paramedics arrived on the scene and was bleeding heavily from multiple bite wounds.
"
She was losing a considerable amount of blood from the wounds," he said.
"This was really out of the ordinary - the first I've heard of something like this."
RCMP Sgt. Brigdit Leger said officers shot one of the two animals, apparently wounding it, but both managed to get away.
An official with Parks Canada said they barricaded the entrance to the trail where Mitchell was attacked and were trying to find the animals to determine what prompted such an unusual attack.
Helene Robichaud, the park's superintendent, said there have been a handful of reports of aggressive coyotes over the last 15 years, but they have not seen any attacks on people.
"There's been some reports of aggressive animals, so it's not unknown," she said. "But we certainly never have had anything so dramatic and tragic."
