Canadian Coyotes Kill

According to CNN, on Tuesday afternoon a 19-year old Canadian singer, Taylor Mitchell, was attacked by coyotes at the Skyline Trail in Cape Breton Highlands National Park in Canada. This comes as a shock considering she was attacked on a well traveled path and coyotes are shy by nature. This is the first outright attack from coyotes ever in the park history.
What makes this event so strange is the strange behavior of the coyotes. There are more and more animal attacks on humans each year and it is speculated that global warming is behind it. It can also be argued that the reason animals, like the coyotes that attacked Taylor Mitchell, are acting out violently is do to their shrinking habitats. Not only due animals get territorial but with people get closer to animals, the animals are getting used to humans and are no longer afraid to approach. Normally this wouldn't be a bad thing until some ignorant person decides the animals need food and feeds them, which in turn causes the animals to see humans as a food source.
Attacks, like the one on Taylor Mitchell, will only get worse and more frequent unless something is done.
