Victorville Rancher Shoots Ostrich-Killing Coyote

VICTORVILLE, Calif. (AP) ― An ostrich rancher from the Victorville area says he shot a coyote after it killed 22 of his birds.

Doug Osborne, who has been ranching in the Victor Valley since 1994, says he decided to kill the coyote after San Bernardino County sent two of its best trappers to catch the animal but they were unsuccessful.

Osborne shot the canine Tuesday night. With each bird valued at about $1,000, Osborne says the coyote did more than $20,000 in damage.

The coyote killed the ostriches by biting their heads off.
