Med, N.J., is nothing but the wild west or the great frontier.
A beautiful, peaceful town in Monmouth County, NJ, not far from the Atlantic Ocean, within commuting distance of New York . It’s far enough away from the ‘hustle and bustle’ of places like Elizabeth, Newark and Jersey City, and it’s really quite a lovely village, certainly not one with a wild coyote on the prowl.
While Middletown is a beautiful place, it is also home to a naval assembly station, which has a section of 750 acres. It appears that this is the harbor with the fleet of several coyotes. They even found a way through the fence.
On May 21, a 5-year-old boy was mauled by a coyote in front of his home near the military base. Releasing the boy from the pen, he released the mixture only when his older sister cried out at the sight of the child, and their black. lab was chased into the woods. The young man had lacerations on the back of his neck and neck from large bites that required stitches. Later, a gray-brown female coyote lay dead near the entrance to the Naval base. Several others were spotted in the area by local townspeople. The rabies test has so far tested negative.
In April, a 22-month-old boy was attacked in a backyard not far from where a 5-year-old boy was injured. Recently a woman opens the front door and ran outside with her Chihuahua, she was immediately attacked and killed. one or two coyotes. He also lives near the base.
The Navy has now allowed NJ state police to patrol and trap the base. will it be enough? After the previous division of NJ State Fish & They lay snares for wild beasts, but they have not yet caught them. Town officials have repeatedly issued a bulletin urging all residents to keep kids safe and care inside, unless the agency.
Estimates of New Jersey’s coyote population have been put at over 3,000, with many in all 21 counties. But up to this spring there had been no attack on the people in the city. These creatures are smarter than ever since they migrated from the West about 70 years ago. While these predators are bold, they are also skittish and can be more easily intimidated by shouting. State officials at the local and state level are hopeful that the coyote population at the Naval Air Station can be “thinned out.”
