Why You Should Never Go Hiking

Taylor Mitchell, an up and coming artist, has been killed by a pack of coyotes while hiking in Nova Scotia. The 19-year-old singer-songwriter from Toronto was set upon as she walked alone in the Cape Breton Highlands national park and died of bite wounds in hospital. (wait what!?!)
Other hikers heard the singer's screams during the attack on Tuesday and called for help. When Mounties arrived they shot one of the animals, but it escaped. They found Mitchell in a critical condition with bites over her entire body.
She was airlifted to hospital in Halifax, but died the next day.
The trail has been sealed off and parks officials are trying to hunt down the animals to find out why they attacked a human. It has been reported that one of the animals was later shot dead. Park superintendent Helene Robichaud said there had been reports of aggressive animals in the past "but we certainly never have had anything so dramatic and tragic".(ya think?!?)
Coyotes, which also are known as prairie wolves, are found throughout north America, but wildlife biologist Bob Bancroft said attacks on humans are extremely rare. He said the animals may have thought Mitchell was a deer. (say whaaaaaat!)
Mitchell was in the region on tour promoting her first album, For Your Consideration. Earlier this month she was nominated for the 2009 Canadian Folk Music Awards in the young performer of the year category.

Killed by Coyotes!!!!You heard it hear first-nothing good comes out of hiking! Do yourself a favor workout at a gym. Much more enjoyable-unless you have to deal with guidos then go buy a freakin treadmill.
