Actually my main point was that coyote attacks are very low on the threat assessment. I've seen several news reports whose main purpose seems to be spreading fear of a threat that really isn't there. I think those reports are pretty ridiculous. This one is a prime example. It describes how she had to take refuge at her neighbor's house "behind the iron bars of his security gate" as if a simple wooden door wouldn't have been sufficient.
