The capital of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Patrick Foy, reported that the family “had done nothing to provoke or inadvertently initiate any type of attack by this coyote, but in fact, the coyote went up and attacked his little girl.”
Foy specified that the injuries caused were enough to terrify the girl, and he was grateful that the family was there at the time of the attack. attack, because in his opinion, the incident would not have ended well. He stressed that the injuries suffered by the girl were intense enough to be hospitalized.
When the police arrived at the scene, they found two coyotes nearby, whom they began to shoot. Video from the scene showed police patrols in the arena chasing both animals. One of them died, while another fled.
“If he is still alive, he should be considered dangerous because he is injured,” added Foy. “People should not approach, but call 911”.
Foy acknowledged that there is concern about a possible case of rabies that the girl would suffer. However, he explained that wildlife officials have no evidence to suggest that the coyote that attacked the girl had rabies.
He noted that coyotes are usually very quiet when they are about to attack, and highlighted his speed, so he admitted that there was nothing the family could have done to stop the attack.
The authorities informed the community that any sighting of coyotes in the area should be reported to 714-911-8811, or report the case in the Coyote Incident Report, on the Huntington Beach line.
