But but animals are our furry little woodlands friends!

Rye is just a couple miles north of New York City’s borough of Yonkers, and right on the north shore of Long Island Sound. It is highly developed suburbia, and a rather expensive upscale area.

This is what we said a few years ago ... it will take somebody’s kid getting attacked or killed before the sheeple wake up. Rye’s mayor has had to turn down requests for armed citizen’s posses to hit the parks and nature preserves and wipe out the animals. Instead they are bringing in “professional” trappers and hunters, and have told the cops to shoot first. Locals are warned not to let children or pets out after dark.

These coyotes are acting in packs, very similar to the ones that killed that woman up in Labrador/Newfoundland last year.

And still some kneejerk bambilovers are blaming people and the old “encroaching on the animals habitat” song and dance! I’ve got news for them: Rye has been a fully built up super dense suburban community for far more than 100 years. It is past high time that these tree kissing idiots wise the heck up and realize that animals adapt, and like the bears in NJ, the coyotes are finding suburbia to be sweet easy living. And that children make tasty snacks.

Hey, this may actually be one situation where the cops and their little M4 patrol rifles are properly armed for the situation at hand. Assuming they get hold of some .223 V-max ammo. For 100 yard shots it’s perfect coyote medicine.

RYE — “Mommy, coyote!”

That’s what a 6-year-old girl yelled Tuesday night as a coyote viciously attacked her friend, Erika Attar, while they played in Erika’s backyard at 80 North St., police said.

The attack, which left the girl with non-life threatening bite wounds to her neck and torso, was the second coyote attack on a child in the city in the last four days.

Next door neighbor Stephanie Ellis was playing with Erika in the yard around 7:15 when the coyote latched onto her friend.
...
“The 6-year-old girl screamed, ‘Mommy, coyote! Mommy, coyote!’ alerting her father on the deck,” Connors said.

Parents ran over. The coyote ran off. One woman CBS 2 HD spoke with was next door.

“I saw, I actually saw the coyote and called 911,” the neighbor said.

The neighborhood borders the Rye Nature Center, where it’s believed the coyote came from, perhaps through a break in the fence that borders the victim’s yard.

Other neighbors saw the coyote running away.

“It was the size of a German Shepherd, healthy, running fast. I stopped and called police,” Doug MacLaury said.
...
This was attack number two.

Last Friday in Rye, a 6-year-old girl was mauled by two coyotes outside her home. She was given rabies shots and is home.

Since last Friday, police in Rye have fired a total of three shots at coyotes. Each time, the coyotes got away.

Rye Police began setting traps in April after coyotes killed a poodle in the area. They’ve captured nine coyotes so far. But now humane trapping has taken a back seat to eliminating the coyotes since they appear less fearful of humans and more willing to attack them.

“If they’re attacking small people, it’s a problem that needs to be dealt with in a serious way,” neighbor Phil Gibbs said.

Rye Mayor Doug French says the 3-year-old was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries after the Tuesday night attack. The girl’s house is behind the Rye Nature Center, which is located on a 47-acre wildlife preserve.

The latest attack occurred as Rye Police Commissioner William Connors was addressing a group of residents about the last coyote attack.

Police are now ordered to shoot on sight, and with summer vacation just beginning, parents are being told to keep their children inside at night.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
