Weird. I always thought we were safe around coyotes. One more reason to carry in the woods.

LOL. Classic Barko, thanks for that one.

Though this is a tragic event for family and friends of this young woman, it is a rare event. You need to put things in perspective. On average, there are less than twenty shark attacks a year worldwide, and less than 20% of those are fatal. Many people will go to the beach but not enter the water for fear of sharks. Yet more people are killed annually by falling coconuts. They should avoid the beach and stay in the water!

More than 30,000 people are killed in the U.S. every year in traffic accidents. If you are really concerned about your well being, sell your truck and camper, move into the woods, and live with the wild animals. You will be much safer.
