洛杉矶郊狼袭击幼童后被安乐死

洛杉矶阿特沃特村一只野生郊狼本周五晚进入一户人家后院，攻击了一名16个月大的男孩1。男孩和母亲逃入屋内后，郊狼仍跟随进屋且不愿离开1。加州鱼类与野生动物部门随后对该郊狼进行了安乐死，并采集DNA样本以确认是否为伤害儿童的同一只动物1。

这只郊狼在此前数月已频繁出现在该居民区，多次在光天化日下活动并接近居民1。人道野生动物控制公司首席执行官Rebecca Dmytryk曾于7月向鱼类与野生动物部门提交投诉，称郊狼在某人后院闲逛并睡在车顶上1。Dmytryk评论称："这种情况应该在伤害儿童之前就进行干预。现在孩子受了伤，郊狼也死了。"1

A wild coyote that had roamed a Los Angeles residential area for months was euthanized following an attack on a 16-month-old boy on Friday evening 1. The incident occurred in the Atwater Village neighborhood, where the animal had become increasingly bold in its interactions with residents during daylight hours 1. After entering a family's backyard and attacking the child, the coyote pursued the boy and his mother into their home, refusing to leave the property 1.

Officials from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife responded to the scene and euthanized the coyote, collecting DNA samples to confirm whether it was the same animal responsible for the attack 1. Rebecca Dmytryk, chief executive of a humane wildlife control company, criticized the delayed response to the escalating threat, stating: "This situation required intervention long before a child was injured. Now a child has been hurt, and a coyote is dead" 1. Dmytryk had filed a complaint with the fish and wildlife department in July regarding the coyote's persistent presence in the neighborhood, noting that the animal had been observed loitering in backyards and sleeping on car roofs 1.
