Seattle couple frees coyote's head from jar

[jackelope]

 
A coyote with the jar stuck on his head has been freed.
The three to four month old pup was spotted in the Rainier Beach neighborhood on Friday with the jar on its head. Animal shelter officers said by then, the jar had been on the animal's head for about a week.

A Seattle couple sprung to action when they spotted the coyote stumble into their yard on Monday and pulled the jar off the young pup's head.

"It was emaciated and I assume, pretty dehydrated. It had been losing weight and appeared in a weakened condition," said Don Baxter, from Seattle Animal Control.

Animal Control says the pup should have a quick recovery and is optimistic for the coyote's future.

so do they return him to the wilds of the rainier valley when he is all healed up  seems kinda odd not to just put it down coyotes arent an endangered species

I wonder what type of jar that was?  I don't condone littering usually, but maybe a few strategically placed jars out there could help thin the coyote population......

If he was, they would of beat him to death with their Birkenstocks if he attacked them.....

$0.50 just to put bullet in and pull Jar off.  That's very simple.
