Woman Says Coyotes Attacked Horse

Another Connecticut community is on edge Wednesday night over a coyote attack, NBC 30 News reported.
The attack comes just days after an attack in Washington, and this time, residents said, the coyotes became so aggressive they attacked a horse.
A spokesperson for the Department of Environmental Protection told NBC 30 News coyotes attacking a horse is pretty much unheard of, but people in North Stonington said they believe a pack of coyotes did exactly that.
The 1-year-and-a-half- year-old quarter horse has some severe injuries. The colt, confined to a stall for his own safety, is nursing dozens of bites, and cuts 8 inches long and 3 inches deep.
"He did a lot of crying, I wanted to sleep out here with him," Christine Bomster said.............
