In a followup to yesterday's story about a couple who stole a baby skunk from a pet store in Florida, one of the thieves was arrested when he tried to return the skunk to the store and police nabbed the other thief at her workplace; while a New York skunk family had to make a treacherous passage across a highway. Wildlife trappers from Wisconsin provide insight into how they do their job; but a rash of seagull deaths at Sleeping Bear Dunes Park along Lake Michigan is being blamed on contaminated fish. There will be a meeting of interested parties to discuss cougars in California at Hollister next Wednesday; followed by a look at cougars in Utah. Outrage over the dismissal of animal cruelty charges against two Wisconsin men accused of running deer down with snowmobiles earlier this year may prompt legislation that makes such killings against the law; but a Georgia truck accident prompted by a deer in the road resulted in a lot of road hogs! A Florida resident was cited for feeding raccoons in her back yard; followed by a story about protecting corn crops from ravenous raccoons in Illinois. As outdoor enthusiasts enjoy the Fourth of July weekend, wildlife officials provide some pointers on bear encounters; while a Wisconsin woman, who was eight months pregnant, describes her terrifying encounter with a black bear. And finally, bear thieves are being sought by authorities in a New York community.
