The Kelly Keen coyote attack is one of two known coyote attacks to prove fatal, and the only recorded fatal coyote attack in the United States. Three-year-old Kelly Lynn Keen was dragged off her property and fatally wounded before being rescued by her father. The event is also notable for its aftermath, in which large numbers of coyotes were killed and two animal rights activists provoked an uproar by falsely claiming her parents, not the coyote, had killed her.
