WILDLIFE NEWS OF THE DAY - 063009

Wildlife advocates plan to protest trapping practices in Maine, as our first wildlife story today explains. Gray wolves in Michigan and Wisconsin have been put back on the Endangered Species list after successful lobbying by several groups; but technology may be coming to the rescue of wolves (and incidentally, livestock) in Idaho. A followup to yesterday's article about a motorcycle colliding with a deer provides insight from an Iowa state trooper on deer-auto collisions; while a Fort Wayne, Indiana, man whose motorcycle collided with a deer last week has died from his injuries. A deer in Green Bay, Wisconsin, who had been very congenial with humans apparently died of stress from being enclosed with other deer by wildlife authorities. There may be a lion in a cemetery in Oregon's capital; and a cougar was seen and photographed by a reporter on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. A bald eagle that may have been 25 years old has died at a Kentucky wildlife center; but, citing the 'repercussions' of an unchecked coyote population increase, New Jersey is adding coyotes to the species that can be hunted in that state. An intruder garbed in a raccoon coat and wearing a mask was caught in the act of raiding a cat food supply in a Texas community. The plight of the polar bears is being discussed at a meeting in Copenhagen, Denmark, today. A nature trail in Utah was temporarily closed yesterday due to a bear sighting; and a black bear was seen in a South Carolina county. A black bear wandered into a New Jersey neighborhood yesterday; while a black bear who had broken into a Wisconsin woman's house on the weekend reappeared outside the home and knocked her to the ground. And finally, a very old bear celebrated his 65th birthday!
