6:28 pm
first coyote. the tracker shot was the offender, a one year old male. but they also went to on shoot and kill a four month old female pup and their mother appears to be walking around right now with a gunshot wound to her chest, right after a coyote nipped a five year old girl at san francisco's botanical gardens on june 28th. local, state and federal agencies sprang into action among hundreds of pages of documents obtained under the public records act from recreation and parks animal care and control. the california department of fish and wildlife, and the u.s. department of agriculture. i found a line that the mother provided investigators with a video of her daughter explaining what happened. she gave me a copy, and then i started to cry and went back to my group. >> you got up and ran. okay. after that bit? yeah. >> the mother confirmed to me that her daughter, dressed as a rainbow butterfly, was playing in the trees here at the edge of moon viewing garden next to the conifer lawn. she told me other kids spotted the coyote coming
6:29 pm
through the woods and ran away. when her daughter finally saw it and started to run. she tripped and the coyote nipped her on the bottom. she suffered two puncture wounds. one required two stitches to close, the other bled just a little. the coyote later tested negative for rabies. a gardener told investigators the coyote, identified as one year and one month old, lunged several times towards the other kids before he was able to chase it away. you knew this family of coyotes? i did. janet kessler took these pictures of the coyote family in the botanical gardens the month before the attack. she's been tracking coyotes around san francisco for 17 years. and developed this map showing the different packs close to 100 coyotes in all. kessler believes the coyote that day exhibited normal denning behavior, that it was protecting the area around its home that contained pups. >> raising a family of pups is a family affair. the yearlings help with feeding them, with
6:30 pm
teaching them, with playing with them, with guarding them. it's not just the parents who do this. >> the i-team obtained one internal email from an animal care and control staffer, saying that rec and parks has some explaining to do. they need to speak to how the botanical gardens are arranged and what they did to keep coyotes and kid camps apart. there's been a den there for years and they were aware. so your own staff is saying that they have to answer for why they didn't keep the coyotes and the kids camp apart. do you agree with what your staff was saying? >> i think moving forward, there's a question of can we control to some extent where the dens are. that's very, very difficult to do well. >> but why control where the dens are? why not control where the kids are? >> you can control where the kids are. all the dens of the coyotes are all over golden gate park. >> if that's the case, should the camp counselor have been keeping closer watch? she told
6:31 pm
investigators she was standing along this paved path with several kids while other campers, including the five year old victim, were across the lawn playing in or near those woods. it's got to be 50 60ft away. at least she was not there with this kid who was playing in the woods. >> i'm not going to throw the counselor under the bus here. >> i'm not trying to throw. i'm just trying to figure out what happened and how we can fix this. moving forward. next, i tried to speak with stephanie linder, ceo of the botanical gardens, about what, if any, changes she's making to her camp programs that run up to $1,300 for a ten day session. she declined an on camera interview, but emailed decisions about whether to close the gardens or sections of the gardens for public safety are made by sf recreation and park, not my organization. we are the nonprofit partner to sf recreation and park. i also traded emails with rec and park spokesperson tamara appleton, but she did not respond to my request for an interview with her or general manager phil
6:32 pm
ginsburg. the documents show that appleton explained the attack in an email early pupping season, so coyotes may exhibit more protective behavior. >> there have been dens in botanic gardens without incident for many, many years. >> that's not true, according to jamie carlson. >> i'm grabbing the baby, and he's right here, and i'm backing out and i'm screaming, screaming, screaming. >> four years ago, in the exact same spot where the june attack occurred, carlson was wrapping up a picnic with her two year old grandson. she walked through the stroller about ten feet away when this coyote charged him. another mom recorded the aftermath. there's the coyote, and that's carlson holding her grandson tight. she tells me she snatched the little boy up just as the coyote arrived. she later saw two indentations on his back, what she believes were fang marks. >> that's how close it was. it's just too frightening. >> it was a nanosecond if you were just a nanosecond slower. i
6:33 pm
know it could have been much worse. >> i know i didn't sleep for a while. the takeaway is, are we waiting for this to happen again? i did not feel that they took my story seriously or did much about it. >> then in 2021, a camera caught a popular coyote nicknamed carl, stalking a child, feeding the ducks in the botanical gardens. he lunged at the boy. a sniper later killed carl as he emerged from his den. the same den. the coyote family used from the attack in june, according to the documents we obtained. >> the whole thing is just. >> it's just riddled with untruths and a creative narrative is what what the situation is. >> animal advocate kim ford has been using her blog to question the decision to shoot not only the offending coyote, but two others. internal documents show san francisco paid a usda trapper $7,500 to use his rifle with silencer and infrared scope, and he took a male adult they believe was the most likely
6:34 pm
coyote involved in the attack. and that first night, he says, i shot who i believe is the offender. why not stop there? >> whether he believes that or however he feels, that's up to him. the trapper sent a dna sample to be compared to a swab taken from the five year old girl's wound, but he continued the hunt and killed a four month old female pup. >> fish and wildlife's investigation report concludes the coyote pup was too small to have been the offending coyote. the second coyote he took was a four month old female pup. why shoot the puppy? >> so it's really hard to, you know, i'm not going to second guess the tracker, but it's hard to tell the ages of these coyotes. >> the internal documents show a uc davis researcher questioned why did they shoot a pup? an animal care and control staffer answered, i have no idea. taking the pup out of the bag was so awful. the report included a
6:35 pm
photo of the little body in a garbage bag stored next to her brother, the yearling. i mean, these are dogs. >> they're like wild dogs. i mean, if you think of, like, your domesticated dogs and you get them when they're like 2 to 4 months old or something, if you get them when they're puppies. i mean, that's what they shot the other times they've had to do this. >> have they taken just the offending animal or have they taken other coyotes at the same time? >> the only two other occasions i know about, they've taken just the offending animal. >> the shooting continued into a second night. the usda trapper reporting he took an adult female coyote that was associated with the adult male coyote and pup. he couldn't find the body, but, quote, we collected blood, so there was a coyote somewhere dead in the garden. one week later, janet kessler's field cameras caught what she says is the mother and father of that coyote family coming back into the botanical gardens. and she snapped this photo of the female. kessler
6:36 pm
suspects this is a bullet wound from that government hunter. >> i don't know if that is from a bullet. it looked like it was. i asked people who knew about this kind of wound, and they said it definitely looked like that's what it was. >> in this case, a difficult decision was made, but it was the right decision. whether that was the bullet, whether it wasn't the bullet. we always on the side of public safety. >> gonzalez says the trapper had to continue taking coyotes until the dna test confirmed the first one he shot was the offender. i also asked gonzalez why his agency put out information that led to stories like this one in the chronicle, coyotes killed in sf after attack did not have pups raising questions about aggression. we know that's not true now, right? >> i don't think we could say that. so what happens? a lot of the times in these cases is people feed animals. >> there's no mention in the hundreds of pages of investigative reports, texts and emails that coyote feeding
6:37 pm
played any role in this case. what do you think about how they handled this? >> i'm sad about it. when talking about coyotes, it's important to be really level to tell the truth, they could have said, look, we made a mistake. there was a den here. they've never corrected their their mistakes, the five year old victim's mother tells me we enjoy sharing our city with wildlife, and it's a shame that this incident happened and animals were killed. >> her words. the official san francisco policy for coyotes is peaceful coexistence. we have to alter our behavior at times if we're going to avoid problems like this one and others. we've been seeing, especially knowing. >> there, there. >> exactly. i know they're they're not going anywhere. >> what a story. thank you dan. >> thank you. >> and if you have a story for dan and the i-team, go to abc7 news .com/ i-team. stay with

expecting about seven inches at kirkwood, eight inches at donner, and five in tahoe city. accuweather seven day forecast. you are looking at rain tomorrow night, showers thursday. that's a level one, but halloween is fine. isolated showers in the north bay at night and that's about it. our next level one is friday night into saturday. and don't forget daylight saving time ends sunday morning. >> yeah, larry calls it a soul sucking time of year so early. >> well, it's so dark out, so it's a little different. turn the clock back. we're not disagreeing. i know it's a little depressing. come on, nature, walk with us. mother earth, please. warriors are playing their fourth game of the season tonight. they're hosting the pelicans. they're already missing three key rotation players, including the most important as mayor of san jose, he took on pg&e and special interests to lower utility bills and reduce emissions by 36%. worked to lower costs for working families. and with reproductive rights under attack, liccardo stepped up to fund planned parenthood.

steph curry out with a recurring ankle injury. andrew wiggins cannot play tonight against new orleans because he has a strained back now. curry tweaked his ankle twice in sunday's game against the clippers, which the warriors lost. so steph's going to be out at least two games, missing the back to back with the pelicans before being reevaluated on friday. wiggins scored 29 points against la. so his absence leaves the dubs without two of their top scorers. on top of that, de'anthony melton is a great defender and backup point guard. he's also out and he has a back issue. a fully healthy chris alvarez joins us now live from charlotte. well, i think i don't know who knows what happened. yes, we'll get you checked. but steve kerr, he's talked about the old strength in numbers slogan. they're being tested immediately. those numbers. and how are you, chris? yes. >> i'm great. larry, how are you? and you might need to suit up tonight. i mean, the warriors all of a sudden go from 12 to potentially nine uh, as you mentioned, missing a lot of scoring tonight. the starting lineup tonight. pods healed. moody draymond and tj. jonathan
6:52 pm
kuminga going to come off the bench. so you're going to miss about 45 to 50 points in scoring average from milton curry and wiggins. they need to get something going tonight against new orleans. >> the message is this is why we have a deep team. you know this is this is the point to be able to withstand injuries and absences. and obviously tonight is pretty extreme to have you know two starters out and a, you know, a guy who comes off the bench quickly. that's pretty rare. but we are we feel like we're built for it. but we've got to go prove that. >> and warrior larry this is one of those baseball series to play the pelicans on. back to back nights. so new orleans catching golden state when they're down some guys. and larry i know you're fashion forward tonight. the warriors going to wear these classic addiction. white uniforms paying homage to those philadelphia years. when wilt chamberlain scored 100 points. i don't know if they have anybody that can do that. we'll see if the worst can score 100 tonight and hold new orleans, because
6:53 pm
they got a good team with brandon ingram, zion williamson and cj mccollum. it's going to be a tough test for the warriors shorthanded tonight. we'll make it work though i know you're fully healthy larry. as we send it back to you. >> i'm doing what i can. and if steve kerr how i don't know how many guys would have to get hurt for steve kerr to put me in a game, but it would be a lot. anyway, thank you. chris took ten games. the san jose sharks finally got their first win of the season last night against utah in dramatic fashion. they were down four one with just under five minutes to play at the end of a long eight day road trip. team teal scored three goals in a minute. 50s, and they complete the comeback in overtime when alex wennberg scores here, a memorable first victory for new head coach ryan warsofsky. >> the relief and the belief. and we got a group of guys in there that they're going to. they're going to they're going to believe a lot more now. and that's what this is all about. when you when you go into a sporting event, you got to believe that you can win a hockey game no matter what the
6:54 pm
situation is. you can believe that. and you don't just believe that and not just not a feeling that's in your mind, that's in your heart. it's in your soul that you believe that. and we get that. we can get that going here. >> and while the dodgers and yankees are battling in the world series, it was ten years ago today that madison bumgarner came out of the bullpen to seal the deal for the giants in game seven against the royals, madbum started, and he won games one and five in that world series. and then on just two days, rest came in as a reliever and threw five scoreless innings as the giants won their third title in a five year span. that is the stuff of legends sports on abc seven, sponsored by smart and final. as for ten years, i know that the giants need to get something going here because it has been ten years, but right now the yankees are leading the dodgers five four. in the fifth inning, yankees got a grand slam from anthony volpe. freddie freeman has homered in his sixth straight world series game. we will have the highlights for you tonight. it's been a pretty good
6:55 pm
series. yeah, for the dodgers in particular. yeah. thanks, lou. >> coming up tonight on abc seven at eight. it's dancing with the stars at ten high potential. and stay with us for abc seven news at 11. that is it for this edition of abc seven news. thanks for joining us. i'm ama daetz. and i'm dan ashley for sandhya patel, larry beil, all of us here. >> we appreciate your time. hope you have a great evening and we see you again at 11:00 as you look out live now at fisherman's wharf for that beautiful, remarkable ferris wheel. see you later tonight.
