Coyote attacks five-year-old child in Stanley Park

Conservation officers are urging the public to avoid Stanley Park after a boy was injured in yet another coyote attack in the popular downtown Vancouver park.

According to the B.C. Conservation Officer Service, the five-year-old boy was with his family for a walk at Prospect Point around 9:30 p.m. Tuesday and was running ahead “when a coyote lunged and bit him on the leg.”

This is the latest in a string of coyote attacks at Stanley Park in recent months, and the second one involving a young child.

Rangers will be installing more signs in the park to warn the public of the risk of coyote encounters, said spokeswoman Christine Ulmer,

Maybe they need to hire more social workers for the coyotes.

  1. A coyote has to be pretty hungry to attack a 5 year old kid.
    I figure they’ll start feeding them, and then furrow their brows in abject incomprehension when the coyote population skyrockets.

    1. Feeding them is likely why they are attacking people now.As pointed out they need to be shot at ,scared every time they have human contact not fed a hotdog.

      1. People just don’t get it with wild animals. They figure if they see a critter within city limits, they can treat them like housepets.

        I’ve mentioned that there are rabbits in my part of the city. I’ve learned to give them a wide berth and to leave them in peace. They’re often just as afraid of us as we can be curious about them.

        One day, there was one near a local strip mall. It was peacefully feeding on some grass when a young lady came along with a carrot. She probably thought that she could get the rabbit to come to her and eat it out of her hand.

        I advised her to leave the carrot on the ground and back off for the aforementioned reason. Did she listen? Nope. She was under the influence of “awwwww, what a cutie” and kept approaching it. The rabbit, quite rightly, turned and hopped away a few metres. She, however, didn’t get the hint and persisted and succeeded in scaring the poor beastie away.

        Yeah, some people just don’t learn. Thank you, Walt Disney, and thank you, PBS and Discovery Channel for all of your cheesy nature documentaries. Wild animals are not your pets, people. Show them respect and give them room. They’ll look just as cute a few paces away and they may even respect you for that.

        1. BA, I would bet wild animals would turn their noses up at that crap being offered to them. They know what is good to eat and what is not. Apparently, most humans don’t. As Forrest would say, “Stupid is, as stupid does”.

    3. I can see them doing that.

      I’m guessing that they will form a blue ribbon committee that will recommend a coyote social support infrastructure.

      The coyote supports will be administered by a wild-dog (one must be inclusive) sub-bureau within the massively bloated Vancouver homeless industrial complex.

      Pretty soon we’ll have a million fentanyl addicted Park Dingos wandering the streets trying to steal babies and iPhones while Organic Unoaked Chardonnay swilling eco-morons scream;. “Leave them alone, they were here before us!”

      We might all welcome some direct Chinese intervention at that point.

  2. Enough Debates. Just go out and get it already. It protects you, your family and everyone in the community. It’s been scientifically, mathematically and statistically proven to make everyone safer. The communities that got them are overwhelmingly safer. The chances of side effects or accidents are so unbelievably small that it’s completely absurd to not get one already. Quit being selfish, quit arguing online and go purchase a firearm.

    2. “Enough Debates. Just go out and get it already.”

      Oh, you got me good…damn…:)

  3. Shooting a few coyotes will teach the rest to avoid people. Empty the park of people and bring in the teams to shoot the coyotes. You won’t get them all, but the surviving coyotes will be so traumatized that they will avoid people for a couple of coyote generations. Regular culls will reinforce the fear in the coyotes.

    Wildlife management is not terribly complicated, it just requires an understanding of the animals and following proven strategies. A few coyotes are not a problem as long as they have been taught that messing with people is fatally stupid.

    2. But, if someone tried that, groups like PETA will begin “coyotes are cute” campaigns, much like what happened with the Newfoundland seal hunt some 40 years ago.

      You can figure out what effect that’ll have, particularly in Lotusland.

      1. You got that right BADR.

        In urban Oak Bay, they are are overrun with deer. The easy solution is to cull them, and hey, what with virtue signalling being de riguer!, give the venison to the local natives……no, not the tweed curtain variety…….but no, despite the bike and car accidents with deer, the run ins with dogs, etc, can’t kill Bambi!

        So they’ve tried a sterilization program at great cost, who knows how it’s going?

        Closer to my nest, there was a tremendous overpopulation of rabbits about 5 years ago, largely centred around the Hwy overpass/interchange near the hospital. So, couldn’t cull them, ol Bugs Bunny is cute, ya know? So they were trapped and shipped to Texas, so the story goes. Coyote food.

        The coast is full of soft headed, weak, Eco-freaks. California North. One day their living fantasy will come true, though their delusions would tell them, that it IS true already.

        1. While I was still in Vancouver, I had a date with a young lady who was one of the “Bambi is cute” types. She just couldn’t understand why anybody would want to go into the bush and hunt deer or moose. (Uh, because they’re a source of meat, maybe?)

          Then again, she was one of those urban backpacker types who like to go into the same bush and rough it, no doubt with gear from places like Mountain Equipment Co-op. Her idea of a good time was winter camping.

          It’s a good thing that it never worked out between us. She married someone else. Better him than me, I say.

  4. Park Rangers will be deploying more signage in the park to inform park users of the risk of encountering aggressive coyotes in the park,…

    That should do it.

    1. burton, maybe they should post signs for the coyote’s that read, “Leave the kids alone, get your supplies from Acme equipment, and go hunt Roadrunners. I’m assuming the coyote’s can read, they are urban dwellers aren’t they?

      If it was an abundance of Cougars or bears creating havoc in the park, they would take it seriously, and either remove and relocate, or cull, so why not with the damn coyotes? Idiots. When a child is killed by one of them, THEN, they would finally do something about it, but why must a child, be ripped apart by one first? As always, someone has to die, before anything gets done….sigh!

  5. I am surprised they are not advocating one stock up on anvils in BC.

  7. In my rural area hardly a summer evening passes without several coyotes singing at each other from four or five areas. There are at least five separate and distinct packs. Out here they are shot/shot at on sight. Coyotoes are really smart. I’ve seen maybe three in my whole time living here, always running away as fast as they can.

  8. Just declare the park a “Coyote Free Zone” and the problem will be solved. It worked with drugs and guns didn’t it?

  9. Vancouver Parks Board puts up Signs…I had no Idea, Coyotes could read.??

    STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES. I Include 100% of the Eco-Tard MORONS that inhabit the entire Lower MAOland. A sign…uhuh. That’ll surely will solve the problem I’m sure. sarc/off

    I’m with YeaWell. Long overdue in this country for OPEN or Concealed Carry.

    Besides, the Big ONE is OVERDUE (isn’t it.??)…I would warrant that would take care of the biggest issue out west – from Rupert to LAX….and possibly create Ocean Frontage much much closer to Alberta than currently…Win WIN..!!

    ZERO Fks given for ChiCom run Lower MaoLanders.

  10. Visited Prospect Point once and while sitting outside eating a sandwich I noticed the place was absolutely thick with raccoons and children feeding them as if they were pigeons. I could only shake my head. I know raccoons aren’t particularly aggressive but they can be given the right situation and as well as being notorious opportunists they can be rabies carriers, at least where I come from… although Vancouver says the virus is mostly found in their bat population.
    But still…quit feeding the damn things, will ya? I know they look like cute bandits…but geez.

    1. Raccoons may not be very aggressive, but although I have encountered many I have never seen one run. I suspect this is because they are the kind of animal with no need to run.

      1. You’ve got that right. Search the web for “raccoon with alopecia“ to see what’s under all that fur. That’s not flab, folks – they’re pretty big. They also have very sharp claws (can climb straight up brick walls), and a mouth full of very sharp teeth. They also sometimes carry a parasite that burrows into the human brain and is usually fatal.

        Cute, and best left alone.

  12. Just. Shoot. Them. You don’t need coyotes in Stanley Park. Our society deserves to fail we are so stupid.

  14. Cougars, coyotes, bobcats, and bears in my neighborhood from time to time.
    However any concerns I have revolve more around two legged predators.

  15. You guys have it all wrong. The coyotes need a check and an apology. At least that’s the formula that fixes everything else!

  16. I live in Mississauga ON, near the Credit River valley, since the spring of this year I’ve had 3 encounters with coyotes around 5am while walking through a local green space.Two of the encounters were with single animals one was a pair,adult and teen. None of them were threatening but it does give you a start when you are not expecting it.In all of the instances the critters were at a brisk trot and seemingly uninterested with me.The closest was the pair about 50 ft,but it seemed like they were on a mission and paid me no heed.

    1. My brother lives near the Credit and my sister in law in near Bronte Creek and both have seen their fair share of coyote in the last few years. It seems the valleys are prime territory for them. The amount of Missing Cat signs plastered to lamposts and mailboxes in the GTA speaks volumes. I’m out in cottage country and i hear them at night but rarely spot one.

  17. You people have got it all wrong. The coyote was only looking for a kid to drag down to the Peace Arch in order to get into America, where the living is easy and everything is free/

    1. Hire a trapper….really, the wussy urban ecotards would have a hissy fit! Until, it’s their child that gets attacked, or worse, ripped apart and killed.

      You’re right of course, as is Yeahwell and steakman, we should have the ability to carry a firearm. BUT, just because there is an assured cure for the problem with trapping and shooting, that doesn’t mean there would be any sanity involved with a discussion about it, cuz it’s all about emotion and feelingz…. Plus, allowing sane lawful firearms carry, by sane lawful, never committed a crime citizens, would be shocking, why, if they were packing heat, they would instantly devolve into insane murdering in broad daylight, thugs. It’s much more civilized to allow gangs to have shootouts, and wild animals in urban parks attack citizens and children. If that child were further ahead from any adults, he might have become supper for the coyote. Humans really are STUPID!

    1. Not so easy in Stanly Park. You’d run the risk of being SWATed.
      Not to mention the issue with stray bullets.
      So, get a team together, shut down the park (Indians could do it, they know how to shut shit down), and then shoot, and then try to get the whole team, the press, and the rest of the assholes to shut up.
      Good luck.
