1. It was way to responsive and agile to be rabid; rabies dulls their instincts coordination and self-preservation, it's probably just had so much success hunting rats cats and small-dogs that it is emboldened: rabid animals don't disengage from threats, they just keep advancing on anything displaying movement, they wouldn't dodge a swing, or shy away from hurled objects.

2. guns are not to be fired anywhere within residential zoning, regardless of the threat it would be unfavorable and indefensible in court; however there is crossbows and archery-bows that can be deployed outside in residential-zones, the arrowheads should be replaced with hunting tips, but in the moment, even target-practice-tips will suffice; the point is to wound it, to cause it to fail escaping, and prevent it from prowling successfully, to slow it down enough to be put down by professionals.

3. I barely speak English.. this violates the terms…

4. I live in SWKS and coyotes are in backyards, front lawns, porches, etc DAILY. It's terrifying for not only the young ones but older people who can't defend themselves. Always need to keep a weapon nearby, whether it be a gun or knife. Once coyotes get a taste of blood, they won't stop or turn away. They'll keep hunting to get more.

5. A gun can/could've resolve/resolved that issue in my opinion.

6. What an idiot letting 2 year old wonder around in the front of the house could have ran into the street.

7. Time to exterminate!?

8. Totally love this video………
   Eat 'em baby !!!

9. Thank God 🙏🏾 she's okay

10. coyotes gotta eat too…;)

11. The coyote attacks are happening because people are encroaching on their habitat and hunting grounds chasing prey away or killing prey off

12. You know what’s good for that? An armed citizen. Oh yeah, they don’t have those in Commiefornia

13. where's a rifle when you need one

14. That's sad but the animals lived there first

15. Here in Indiana coyotes are considered a nuisance landowners trap and kill them! They kill pets baby sheep sometimes even full grown!

16. We keep building and expanding. We are making their land smaller and smaller. I’m all for growth but there has to be limits.

    Also why the heck was the 2 year old on the opposite side of the car by herself? She could have ran into the street. When she started screaming he went over so slow. She could have been grabbed by someone and it would have been too late. Never take your eyes of your kids let alone a 2 year old.

17. where is animal control? if not, shoot the coyote, he's hanging around the neighborhood to eat the toddlers

18. 4+ Million dog attacks in the Us alone each year. ALWAYS carry a gun, nature is always on the hunt and it's brutal AF.

19. It actually starts with the rabbits. Everyone except gardeners likes the rabbits, some even put food out for them. The rabbit population explodes then in come the predators. I watched it happen in my own neighborhood. When I first moved in there were rabbits everywhere then next thing we know we have a fox moved into the area and the rabbit population has dropped. Rabbits are most active at dawn and dusk which unfortunately draws the predators in earlier this time of the year.

20. Just think if you had been carrying a gun you could have taken out that damn yote and wouldn't all be living in fear because that yote was going to eat some dinner that is one hungry yote

21. Trap it? Shoot it and be done! Sorry but trapping it and moving it to be someone else's problem is not the answer. Whether it has rabies or not, clearly this specific one is braisen and dangerous.

22. Did the same coyote attack someone in Orlando? I'm confused

23. I hope the coyote is ok.

24. Don`t invade their territory.

25. Unbelievable

26. How about an urban city with very limited open space being taken over by coyotes? Coyotes from everywhere travel down the drainage ditches and end up in Huntington Beach, CA. The city's policy is to do nothing. There was a toddler attacked on the beach by the pier, and another toddler attacked at MIle Square Park in neighboring Fountain Valley. The coyotes eat pets daily. The creepy city council figures it's OK to keep the citizens living in that extra stress and fear.

27. Unbelievable. Time to mamage this population.

28. Someone's got a weed out those coyotes. Going to have to go on a coyote hunt

29. That must be super terrifying

30. That's why villages and dwellings in the old days have fences or walls to fend of the wild life. We should being it back to protect our homes and the wild life too.

31. 1st coyotes have been prior to man…2nd why did the dad allow his child walk freely next to a roadway as well? I blame the worthless father! Having a firearm for defense would be good to have….oh never mind you liberals want to take my 2nd Amendment right away.

32. Something bad might've happened if her dad hadn't came out 🥺 poor baby

33. How many parents would have taken out the coyote?

34. It’s very scary!! I’m glad the little girl is okay. Her dad is a hero.

35. This is why i keep my gun on me
