Bunny, thanks for the explanation. That makes a lot more sense. Like I said, I don't remember any mention of them, or really hearing them howl, years ago.

Problem can be these are low life right okay you showed now down there do not let your really young kids play outside either they will attack first part of my life was Wisconsin we had them here we have wolves out here yes a wolf will grab a child if hungry enough

no homeless around here. I wonder if the deer are getting that "wasting" disease or if they are being managed (eliminated) by the county. Haven't seen or heard the coyotes either. They used to go up and down our street - like they lived here.

Maybe every critter comes out during my naps.

Could be.. that wasting disease is nasty.

Gosh a real nasty disease looked it up had not heard of it

A dog may grab a child for no reason at all.

do not let your really young kids play outside

Predators, human or otherwise, are only one reason not to let a small child be outside unwatched. There is currently a desperate search going on in Craven County for a 3-year-old that was playing outside with two other kids at his grandmother's house Tuesday and apparently just wandered off into the woods.

Chicago, I believe even downtown areas have coyotes. They must be learning how to cross busy streets and stay alive.

Hope they find that child before it's too late.

They even called out the army to look for him .. why did the other two go in without him why was grandma not out there also .. lot's of questions

 

[drumstick diva]

I think they don't make grandmas like the used to. I've read on Foxnews.com, etc. that some grandmas have been deliberately abandoning gr.kids or murdering them to get away from watching them.

Eh... some kids are just very good at running off.



I am sure the grandma thought that with the 3 together no one would run off and she could toss some sandwiches together.

I see nothing wrong with that. Poor grandma, I am sure she is falling apart blaming herself, no reason to help her pile on the guilt.
