ATHENA VANISHED! STATE HIDES THE COYOTE WITH 3 LEGS
Athena was the desert’s sweetheart. Struck by a car. Saved by vets. Lost a leg — but not her fight. She had a story worth rooting for. Then California Fish and Wildlife showed up, scooped her away… and poof. Gone.
No photos. No videos. No proof. Just a stiff line out of Sacramento: “She’s safe. Trust us.” Yeah, right.
NBC Palm Springs’ Mary Strong isn’t buying it. She’s been hounding officials, calling, emailing, filing records requests. Their answer? Wait 90 days. Ninety days to cough up one lousy picture of a coyote? What are they hiding — Area 51 secrets?
Strong even rang up every single sanctuary in California that can legally hold a coyote. Six of them. The score: zero. Not one says they’ve got Athena. In fact, some said they’d gladly show her off — the publicity could help pay their bills. Even Dr. Jeffrey, the vet who cut, stitched, and saved Athena, hit a wall when he asked.
So the rumor mill spins. Did Athena survive? Is she locked up somewhere? Or did Fish and Wildlife just bury the truth with her?
Through it all, NBC Palm Springs is refusing to let the story die. They’re urging viewers to rattle the cage: email wildlife.ca.gov/director/email and demand answers. Because right now, the state is treating Athena like a classified file.
She was rescued once. She deserves better than this cloak-and-dagger act.
So we’ll say it again, loud enough for Sacramento to hear: WHERE IS ATHENA?
