Coyote Attacks
- Since Friday, two children have been attacked. In another incident, a coyote was headed for a toddler when it was scared off.
- [...] a coyote ran up, grabbed Rowley's 2-year-old daughter by the head and tried to drag her down the driveway.
- On Friday, a 2-year-old girl was attacked by a coyote while playing in a sandbox at Alterra Park in Chino Hills, suffering puncture wounds on the buttocks. The next day, another toddler was approached by a coyote in the same park, but the animal was scared off by the child's father.
Coyote sightings in Chicago, especially up on the north side, are so frequent as to not merit media coverage unless extraordinary - the infamous chase at the Water Filtration plant and the Quizno's coyote to name two recent occurrences.
Now compare a coyote (20 to 50 pounds of aggressive dog) to a cougar (up to 150 pounds of killing machine) and try to claim the police were wrong killing the Roscoe Village cat.

No sane, rational, thinking human being would ever imagine doing so.
Saw a coyote on 431's beat in slag looking for food in the alleys. Chased it and it leaped over a fence in a single bound. Even got a pic...dont tell me what to do
i saw a coyote slow-running down my norwood pk sidewalk last year at 0200. i was returning from o'hare (sober) and it was not troubled by my presence.
there is a reason we killed most of them over 100 yrs ago......they sometimes eat small people !
Don't forget the pitbulls. They are more dangerous than coyotes.
I saw one about 6 weeks ago at North Park village (Bryn Mawr and Pulaski ) he was just after finishing off a young deer behind the gym.
we need some for the ghetto areas.
Why didn't you cops use pepper spray or a tazer? Too afraid to get close? I bet if the cougar was handcuffed you would have beat him up.

I COMPARE THE AGGRESSIVE COYOTE TO SEISER, ON THE PROWL AND ON THE HUNT. SEISER RETURNS TO WORK TODAY IN THE 18th district, TO ALL YOU CRIMINALS OUT THERE, BEWARE TO ARE NOW TO BE HUNTED.
don't kill the cat and the police didn't do enough
kill the cat and the police did too much
cant make the liberals happy
Wasn't 1120 (3rd) on a job trying to catch a coyote some weeks back?
If I worked for 1120 I'd be running & hiding like a coyote!
I'd stay down on jobs since I write really slow & take lunch right when you called an outdoor roll call.
I work midights seen lots of coyotes along the Chicago River and red fox along the lake front. A lot are heading back to the den with large juicy rats in their mouths.

You seem to have forgotten: It IS Roscoe Village.....
Sorry but I would just turn and go the other way. I don't need PETA and the revs. demanding my indictment for violating this poor creatures civil rights to homestead where he wants. After all this is AMERICA and everybody has as right to travel freely!!
A coyote will not generally attack humans. There are plenty of them here in Chicago who survive on small prey (sometimes pets) and garbage. Now....a cougar on the other hand.....
always see a lot of Coyotes in 003. In the Cometary and 61-67 Cottage to Stony
Coyotes often seen on Federal...near the old Taylor Homes.
Coyote was captured in Hyde Park by 021 officers and an animal control not too long ago. Vicintity of 53rd & Blackstone. An ederly couple living there called the police and said there was a wolf in their back yard. Once there the owner wanted no harm to come to the elusive, snarling coyote (you believe that?) At one point, the coyote attemted to leap an 8 foot fence. It Damn near almost cleared it too! Before the animal was about to be put out of it's misery, he was captured without incident. The Metra and various railroad tracks are a streamline to the city. Also since there's so much brush along these routes, there's probably mice and rabbits. Theyre here. Falcons too. So keep an eye on your small children and pets running and playing outside.
Be advised, there's only one animal control officer authorized to carry a firearm, and a dart gun. The others? Just a rope on a stick. Animal control officers take long enough to get to a scene, imagine waiting for the only authorized Animal Control officer with the dart gun to show up? I THINK NOT!

I said 'sane', 'rational', and 'thinking', remember?
I have a source who has infiltrated
a coyote pack. The source has told me that there is an open bounty on any 019 Copper..................
As long as they leave my pussy cat and puppy dog alone. Let 'em eat the rats on the west side.
i wish a cougar or coyote would grab our sgts by the head and squeeze some fucking sense into both of them. koo koo and wuh wuh
A falcon pecked my eye out 20 years ago. I got a glass eye and kept my mouth shut, No one noticed. Passed the CPD physical. 14 years on the job
