Wiley Coyote Killed With Anvil Dropped On Head

122706wildanimalvictim.jpg
Up in Lehigh County -- part of the NBC 10 viewing area! -- a coyote was killed after attacking three people.

One of the men who saw the coyote was Joe Gerbino, whose German shepherd dog spotted the wild animal: "[My dog] knew this was not a dog. . . So I kept the garbage can lid on and forced it out of the yard. From there it just took off." Wait, what? He kept the garbage can lid on what? Was the coyote in a garbage can? Did he use a garbage can lid as a shield (no doubt after practicing on the new Zelda game on his Nintendo Wii) and then drive the coyote out with the Master Sword?

Anyway, the coyote was killed -- without a trial -- for attacking three people and two dogs, although Gerbino said he was a little choked up at the whole thing: "I feel bad for the coyote, but there are kids in the neighborhood, and at the bus stop."

Yes, the whole "won't someone please think of the children" meme extends to coyotes, too.

You have to hand it to my hometown in Northampton County. We find ways to make it interesting.
