DALLAS—Three coyotes have been killed in the search for the animal that put a 2-year-old boy in the hospital earlier this week.
Adam Henry, a wildlife damage management biologist for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, said during a news conference on Thursday the goal of the operation is to eliminate coyotes that are showing “aggressive” behavior around the area where the attack occurred in Lake Highlands. The boy’s father has told The Dallas Morning News that his son is in stable condition.
Officials also set up a hotline for people to report coyote sightings.
