Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) officials are initiating a coyote culling operation in north Colorado Springs following a serious attack on a 4-year-old girl. The incident occurred on Thanksgiving Day, prompting swift action from the child's father, who intervened to rescue his daughter and scare off the coyote. Tim Kroening from CPW noted that the situation could have resulted in a tragedy without the father's prompt response. The decision to hunt coyotes in the area aims to enhance public safety after the attack, which left the child with serious injuries.
