A California newspaper warns readers doing spring cleaning about some uninvited guests they might disturb in our first wildlife story today. Colorado Division of Wildlife is investigating whether a llama was attacked by cats or canines; a Wisconsin community is still talking about the visitation by a cougar in March; and the president of the Oregon Hunter's Assn offers his opinion on Oregon's controversial cougar culling program. An animal shelter in Colorado had to close due to rampant distemper among the animals there; and residents of northern Arizona have been put on alert about rabid wildlife encroaching on residential areas. Georgia wildlife officials are alerting nature lovers of the danger posed by wildlife in wilderness areas; a pair of hunters who killed several bears in Alabama face a hefty fine and up to one year in the pokey; followed by a story in which a representative of Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks provides important tips in reducing bear attacks on humans (and consequent bear deaths). The debate over delisting gray wolves on the Endangered Species List is heating up in Wisconsin; while coyotes in Madison, Wisconsin, are again in the news in the next two stories as they continue to prey upon pets. Two fishermen alerted wildlife officials in Texas about a bald eagle that had been shot; followed by two stories about raptors in Orlando, Florida: a nesting hawk is pouncing on personnel at a local news station; and an airliner was forced to return to the airport after striking an eagle, the sixth such incident at that airport in three years. Farmers in New Zealand discuss removal of a couple of invasive species in their area; but there are some unintended victims, as a pair of dogs have died after eating poison pellets intended for possums in that region. New Jersey is undertaking an expensive repair job on foliage damaged by their burgeoning deer population; while nine deer had to choose the right moment to cross a busy thoroughfare in Ohio. Michigan Department of Natural Resources officials provide deer pointers for residents of that state as spring begins; some of which would have been useful for a young Minnesota driver who was ejected from his vehicle after swerving to avoid a deer in the road. And finally, a little deer humor to end today's installment!
