jetro 5,349 Posted January 22, 2020 Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 Man Strangles Coyote to Death in New Hampshire Joe Ferronato Jan 21, 2020 Aman in Kensington, New Hampshire, strangled a coyote to death after it attacked his two-year-old son, ending a series of attacks on Monday. Ian O’Reilly was hiking with his family when he saw a coyote approach in his periphery and go after his son. The coyote grabbed the boy by his clothing, dragging him to the ground, O’Reilly said in an interview with Boston 25 News. The boy’s mother acted quickly and was able to separate the coyote from her son. Luckily, the boy managed to escape without being bitten. O’Reilly rushed to get between the coyote and his family. He absorbed several aggressive attacks and received bites to the arm and chest. When he realized the animal wasn’t going to leave, he kicked it in the jaw and pinned it to the ground. He was able to grab the coyote’s snout with one hand and place his other on its windpipe. After a nearly 10-minute struggle, O’Reilly killed the animal. “In the middle of the moment you’re not really thinking or recording a whole lot,” O’Reilly told WMUR 9. “It’s really just instinct. The fact that when we tried to kick and push and get rid of him, it became clear that he was not disengaging.” Two other coyote attacks were reported earlier that morning, likely by the same animal. The first attack happened in the town of Hampton Falls at 8:40 a.m. when local police received a report of a coyote attacking a vehicle. Shortly after at 9:00 a.m., a woman called the Kensington police to report that she and her two dogs had been attacked by a coyote. All three were bitten and received rabies treatment, according to a press release. The woman, Pat Lee, 62, was interviewed by NBC Boston. “I was running behind the dogs to get them in, and just as I was here, literally, the coyote bit me—in the butt,” Lee said. The New Hampshire Fish and Game is testing the animal for rabies, a probable cause for this kind of behavior. O’Reilly received his first round of rabies treatment immediately after the attack but has four more remaining. Unfortunately, he’s becoming all too familiar with the process. O’Reilly’s four-year-old son was bitten by a rabid raccoon last year, Boston 25 News reported. According to the CDC, 5,000 animal rabies cases are reported each year. Most of them occur in wildlife. Common hosts are bats, raccoons, skunks, and foxes. Rabies is almost always fatal to humans once symptoms appear. If you are bitten or scratched by a wild animal, you should seek medical attention immediately. Coyotes generally avoid humans. But in some cases they can become aggressive, usually when sick or emaciated. Coyotes, like pigeons, geese, and deer, have adapted to thrive in the wilderness-urban interface, and becoming quite common on the fringes of towns and cities. Though they are generally a much bigger threat to pets than humans, people living in areas with coyotes should be aware that the animals can occasionally threaten humans, especially small children. Attacks are rare but if you are attacked, do as O’Reilly did and fight back.

jetro 5,349 Posted January 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 I didn't realise that rabies was that dangerous to people. I thought it was fairly treatable these days. Atb j Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,638 Posted January 22, 2020 Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 Let's hope it wasn't rabid! But sounds like it was, odd behaviour. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jukel123 6,570 Posted January 22, 2020 Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 (edited) Only on THL could a news report about a coyote attack in America turn into a rant about Corbyn, Abbot the RSPCA and tree huggers. The original story morphed into something completely different, something like Chinese whispers. . In the unlikely event of a rabid coyote ever attacking a child anywhere near you lads, I would euthanise it in the quickest way available. Worry about Corbyn Abbot the RSPCA and tree huggers if you must, but f****n kill it anyway. Trust me, you worry far too much. Corbyn is busy planting his allotment and Abbot is visiting her mentally illl son. Here's something else completely off the thread. The rooks are squabbling over their nests in the rookery near my house and snowdrops are peeking through. Thank f**k Spring is on the way. It's been a long dark January.
