Seattle animal control officers looking for coyote with head stuck in jar
07-23-2011 10:19 AM MST
SEATTLE (Associated Press) -- A young coyote is eluding animal-control officers in Seattle, even though its head is stuck in a jar.
The Seattle Times reports that animal shelter officers tried to track down the 3- to 4-month-old pup Friday in the woods of the Rainier Beach neighborhood. But even without eating for a while, the pup had enough spunk to scurry away.
Seattle Animal Shelter supervisor Ann Graves says officers are concerned for the pup because its head has been stuck in the jar for about a week now.
Graves says shooting the coyote with a tranquilizer remains an option, but it's dangerous if the animal has not had any food. She says the dose could be too much for a weakened animal.

Oh my!!! I bet that's a sight. Watching an over weight control officer trying to run down that pup. I do hope they can get it off. Due to the fact that's a pretty cruel way to go.
Just a natural born KILLER.....

I would be happy to assist. I would even provide my very own ammunition to help that poor coyote find his way to the promised land.
All I ask in return is food, lodging, airfare and a thank you. I would even consider a leisurely drive to Seattle, but sadly, I think that poor coyote may expire before I could make the trip from Arizona.

I'm sure Jim knows this but Seattle is full of tree huggers. So it may not be the cake walk he's hoping for.

Seattle is definitely one place not to go to hunt. Full of animal lovers who would rather spend thousands saving the future little monster than putting it out of it's misery.

I do wish that they would catch and de-jar the little bugger, I hate to see any living thing die a slow miserable death.

I know I would hate to have a jar over my head....I would not last a day without a drink or moose burgers.
Yes I would have to think that he is done for. But, you never know.

Water of course would be the his second problem first being fresh air.
Actually I am surprised he did not run around in circles. Maybe he ran into a rock and is ok ?
