Today in wildlife news, California's Fish and Game Commission decided to cancel a proposed bear hunt this year after public outcry that scientific data justifying the hunt was flawed; followed by an item about an Alaska man who has spent 20 summers living with bears who will be featured in a series on Animal Planet. Floridians are being told to watch for a young black bear that was seen near a gated community. Costing the European Union members millions of Euros, thousands of invasive species are wreaking havoc in some parts of Europe; but a New York Times story offers hope of controlling America's burgeoning horse population, as well as elk, deer, and even kangaroo populations, without culling. Another case of rabid wildlife accosting domestic pets, this time from Sarasota County, Florida; mirrored by one from Maryland. Officials in Kentucky tallied an eighth case of rabies in a county this year; followed by another reason to avoid areas frequented by raccoons: a dangerous parasite (baylisascaris procyonis) may be present. An Oregon-based wildlife rehabilitation outfit is chalking up another victory, as a bald eagle that was nearly dead will be released back into the wild. Two pairs of sea eagles have produced offspring in the UK, much to the delight of observers; while a Texas school had to remove a pair of red-tail hawk chicks from a light tower to effect repairs to the cracked pole. An Indiana deer rancher had to destroy a Labrador retriever that had attacked his herd of Sitka deer; the next article discusses the lack of scientifically-based studies done on deer herd management, as described by a wildlife biologist from Pennsylvania; and a deer cull outside of London, Ontario, Canada, has been called off. Residents of an Oregon community have been alerted to the presence of a cougar within the city limits; and the wanderings of Southern California cougars is discussed in the story that follows. Coyotes in the Tampa Bay, Florida, area are highlighted in the next item; followed by reports from Georgia about coyotes encroaching on farms and ranches. After several livestock were killed by wolves in Montana, wildlife officials killed one adult male; and the next story compares Oregon ranchers' response to wolves with the situation in Wyoming. And finally, a fox decided to visit city hall in Amarillo, Texas, in order to get above it all.
