Late in 2009, a promising young singer had a fatal
encounter with two coyotes, in Nova Scotia.

Dr. Gadbois was interviewed by, among others,
Steve Murphy of CTV News. Gadbois [ Department
of Psychology and Neuroscience Institute, Dal-
housie University] said that he had hoped that
the coyote reports had been a mistake. This, to
me, illustrates that, in addition to studying
coyotes, he also has an admiration for these
normally low profile animals.

I e-mailed the following question to him. He was
gracious enough to answer.
Are humans the only animals who have a
sense of right and wrong?
"Apparently not...There is a strong debate on
this issue with chimps and canines (mostly
dogs). The jury is still out."
