The woods are no place for liberals, hippies or anyone who doesn’t understand the essential cruelty of nature. Canada has an anti-gun and anti-hunting culture that has literally changed the way humans and animals interact, with “animal rights” indoctrination teaching young people that animals are essentially harmless and liberal weapons policies that make carrying a weapon for self-defense, even non-firearm weapons like knives, a risky proposition and socially unacceptable.
Unfortunately for up and coming folk singer Taylor Mitchell Canadians have been so far removed from nature that they no longer see the dangers lurking in the woods, and worse a decline in hunting pressure has convinced many predators that man is no longer the top of the food chain. When that happens mayhem always ensues. From CTV News:
A 19-year-old folk singer who died after being mauled by coyotes on Cape Breton Island had just earned the right to drive and was starting a concert tour of the east coast, her manager says.
Toronto native Taylor Mitchell was taken to hospital in Sydney, N.S., on Tuesday, following the coyote attack. She was later airlifted to a Halifax-area hospital but succumbed to “serious injuries” overnight, according to RCMP.
“She had just gotten her licence and her first set of wheels to take her on the road to the Maritimes,” her manager Lisa Weitz said in an email to CTV.ca. “Her excitement was contagious and positively palpable.”
Mitchell had been hiking alone in Cape Breton Highlands National Park in Nova Scotia when the animals attacked her.
“This (was) a very severe attack, we hadn’t seen anything like this in this national park ever,” Parks Canada Warden Derek Quann told CTV Atlantic.
Emergency officials received a call at around 3:15 p.m. about a hiker being mauled on the popular Skyline Trail. A nearby hiker heard the woman’s cries and called 911, police said.
RCMP Sgt. Brigdit Leger said police rushed to help the woman and had to shoot a coyote that was acting aggressively. Both coyotes then fled into the woods.
CTV has an interview with an “expert” who claims this just must be an anomaly because coyotes never attack people. With experts like that it’s a wonder more Canadians aren’t killed.

I’m no Theist, but I’ve heard some Jewish Theists state that G-d controls the animals to do unnessary and unexplained behaviors noramlly which they wouldn’t do.
Rob Taylor,
I wonder how those animal rights activists would feel if someone they really cared about got attacked by one of those animals they claim to love. I wonder if they would still feel same way.
Damien- There so mired in anti-humanism they would probably not care.
Mah- Except it’s not unusual for packs of coyotes to attack people, especially smaller people who are alone. It’s just politically correct to claim it is. Attacks by animals may be statistically rare, but they are well within the bounds of predatory behavior.
It is not necessary to go into the back woods to encounter wildlife as there is a lot of urban wildlife about. I used to live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada were late one night as I was walking home where my abode was an an apartment on the 26th floor of a high rise building. I saw what I first thought was a wierd looking dog walking across the street about 50 feet in front of me. This creature realized I was looking at it rather intensely so it scurried away, at that point I realized it was a coyote and not a dog.
The Bronx where I lived for a while had many coyotes in the parks.
