Re: kissmewhereipee –
U R Dumb!! First of all there are no mountain lions in Nova Scotia, second of all the 5 or more hikers who tried to save her did see the coyotes attacking her and threw things at them, scaring them away. Did you not read any of the other comments on here? Coyote attacks are extremely rare but they do happen and coyotes around here are bigger, more like wolves.

And for all those who are blaming the victim and saying she was "hiking alone" and "invading the animals space"…ummm it's a public trail, very popular here and visited by many, a lot of them are alone when hiking.

Doubt it was coyotes, they don't go after humans. If no one actually saw the animals, I'm betting it was a mountain lion or something. But hey, wild animals gotta eat too, and wtf do people expect when they go into the animals territory?

Ms. Mitchell's mother has made the following statement: "When the decision had been made to kill the pack of coyotes, I clearly heard Taylor's voice say, 'please don't, this is their space.' She wouldn't have wanted their demise, especially as a result of her own. She was passionate about animals, was an environmentalist and was also planning to volunteer at the Toronto Wildlife Centre in the coming months," Emily Mitchell said in a statement Thursday. "Tragically, it was her time to be taken from us so soon," the mother said.

I find it interesting all the people who say, "Oh, you should never hike alone." Being alone can be the point of a hike. I hike sometimes with groups and sometimes alone, it all depends, but I really value my solitary hikes (and I hike a lot in Nova Scotia; absolutely beautiful part of the world and one of my favourite places to go to clear my head). In terms of the iPod, she was a singer/songwriter, so the combination of music and the natural beauty of the place would have been a no-brainer for her. I think we can all judge the situation and say "coulda, shoulda, woulda", but none of us is promised tomorrow. My heart breaks for her mother and for all of us, who will never know what she would have done musically and otherwise. I feel certain she is at peace.
