In wildlife news today, animal rights activists were upset with Canadians for spooking two deer off a bridge; but an Ohio motorcyclist who struck a deer over the weekend is in serious condition at a hospital; while, with eleven deaths from deer-auto collisions in Iowa in 2007, concern over a burgeoning whitetail population is voiced in the next article, which includes a snapshot of states with high deer populations. Talk about a wild goose chase - Sika deer in Scotland who whistle were evidently mistaken for hikers in trouble, causing a great deal of confusion for would-be rescuers! The Millville Predator Research Facility in Utah is profiled in a detailed look at coyotes; but a New Haven, Connecticut, couple is mourning the loss of their Yorkie, apparently to a coyote. An Op-Ed from the Detroit News argues against protection of gray wolves in Michigan; while four dogs belonging to bear hunters have been killed by wolves in Wisconsin over the past week. In the wake of protests over a dead bald eagle being linked to Sioux religious practices, a conference will be held in Boulder, Colorado, to explain the situation; and in a followup to an article presented last week, a resident of Washington DC pleads for help in stopping Department of Homeland Security from evicting a nesting pair of eagles as new construction is underway in their woods. Staff at the Possum Centre, in West Australia, are nursing a baby pygmy possum about an inch long back to health. A Vermont community is on edge after a skunk that visited the area tested positive for rabies. There are a lot more bears in Wisconsin than there were twenty years ago, according to a recent study; but law enforcement authorities are warning people in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, that there are bears in the area. A family in Ontario, Canada, is concerned that a bear who ripped a hole in their garage may return; and, fearing for the safety of residents, police in Amherst, New York, shot a bear Saturday night. A New Jersey park was closed after a bear was reported in the area on Sunday. And finally, even raccoons have their day in a trendy New York City store!
