Acme Fails Wile E. Coyote Once Again

Well it wasn’t exactly Wile E. Coyote, this coyote goes by the name Hal, and it was Amtrack, not Acme that led him to his troubles.

Hal the Coyote found his way into central park on Saturday from Westchester by crossing an Amtrack bridge over the Hudson, according to a NY Times article today. It was brought down by the NYPD Emergency Services tday.

It will be taken to a Wild-Life refuge rehabilitation center in upstate New York, according to the Times.

The Coyote has been seen many times but has never attacked anyone or their pets, to whom Hal posed the biggest threat, according to Police Officials.

This story is an example of hailing the NYPD for their excellent work in stopping trouble that could have been.

Trouble that could have been? Coytes seem dangerous, but honestly, there is a reason Wiley never caught that roadrunner; if we compare wildlife to software, the wolf is coyote.2. What I am saying here, is that the coyote is pretty much harmless. It has a diet consisting of rabits, and mice, (according to wikipedia) not exactly something suiting for an “emergency service.”
The real emergency here is that NYC officials do not want a pack (that is a myth, coyotes usually travel in 2s or 3s, wolves travel in packs) of coyotes jumping about howling out loud driving park-side property values down. True, coyotes could eventually pose a threat to humans, but wild dogs hurt more, and you won’t see a news report hailing the success of the 2 officers taking him down.

Don’t make a mountain out of a mole hill.
