Wonder If they weren't actually wolves? The LA times article said they ran away and a coyote was shot later that was believed to have been one of the two that attacked her. It's not the first time that the leftist media has skewed a story to influence readers. Sad story for sure.

What a terrible way to die. I'm sorry it happened.

Something doesn't seem quite right in the reporting though. I'd be interested to know what a coyote expert has to say about this. The thing I find immediately odd is that they would have been attacking as a pack. Do coyotes ever do that?

The previous post speculates on wolves and I'm inclined to agree, and if that's not possible, some kind of dog-coyote mix.

Familiarity breeds contempt.  It could be the animals had lost their fear of humans, due to constant close association.....?

Something's fishy about this story. I did web searches for references to coyote attacks. I couldn't find another case where an adult was attacked.

I guess I never thought of the lefty wolf love angle. But let me assure you coyotes do attack in packs, I personally saw a mule deer doe killed by a pack of coyotes in Colorado many years ago. The chance of a coydog mix is super rare and usually man induced. There are lots of rumors out there od coydog mixes, but I have never seen one that was non captive bred. One thing ALWAYS present on a coydog mix is a curl in the tail.
