JOHNSTON, R.I. (WPRI) — A hiker was forced to kill a coyote with his bare hands in Rhode Island last week, according to authorities.
Police told Nexstar’s WPRI that the coyote attacked the hiker in a wooded area in Johnston on Friday, Feb. 9. The hiker was able to pin the coyote down by its neck, according to Johnston Police Chief Mark Vieira. It suffocated to death as a result.
it was likely walking along minding it's own business, or alternately, it was turning its' life around. The two most dangerous activities. I sort of expected to see a picture of the 'yote as a puppy. ;-)
Has to be fake, I was informed by some one Reddit that I was wrong about coyotes attacking people...lol Would have thought I was Genghis Khan for stating that they were natural predators and have been known to attack people even if it is rare.
Throw small stones and spray him with a water hose? Screw that, just shoot the damn thing!
ReplyDeleteIt’s unclear whether the coyote was acting suspiciously prior to the attack.
ReplyDeleteWas it walking slowly, hands behind his back, whistling, trying to not be too obvious? Was it holding its pants up?
Of Course I'm tossing one of the several tennis balls I carry when I'm Hiking in the woods.. I want it to bring it back so we can play.
It was carrying a big magnet.
DeleteThankfully no boulders were harmed in this incident.
