State officials say there is little they can do after two dead coyotes were strung up from a pole at a home on a main road in Bloomfield over the weekend, and a Vermont animal rights advocacy group is outraged.

Brenna Galdenzi, president of Protect our Wildlife, said she was deeply saddened and upset when she first saw photos of the display in Essex County.

“I can’t imagine what kind of mindset someone would have to do something like that, knowing that children are going to see it,” she said.
