In our first wildlife story today, an Ohio motorist got a shock when an 8 pound fish came crashing through her windshield, dropped by an eagle flying overhead (and you thought it was hazardous walking under pigeons!) Three Canadian men have been fined for shooting at ducklings, then posting the slaughter on YouTube as a joke. Despite offering to donate wolves to other states, there been no takers for Idaho's proposal; but Alaska may have its aerial wolf hunt legislated out of existence by Congress. A rat terrier was lucky to survive a coyote attack in Orange County, California; followed by some sage advice offered by wildlife experts about coexisting with coyotes in the region. Two coyote tales from Connecticut today: residents of a community are on edge after several cat killings by coyotes in the area (caution: graphic image in this article); but a mutt will be honored for saving his feline companion from the jaws of a hungry coyote earlier this year. South Carolina's burgeoning coyote population is the topic of the next item; while a Pennsylvania Township has settled on a hunting season for coyotes in the area. A Sprint Cup car struck a coyote in Arizona at nearly 200 mph (caution: graphic images in this article). A woman in Missouri was killed when the motorcycle she was riding collided with a deer; but an informal convention of deer and elk ranchers in Wisconsin will seek to inform interested parties on how to get into the business. More details are provided in the next story about the trapping of a cougar outside of Denver, Colorado; while hunting dogs have been brought in to track down a cougar that pursued a mountain biker in Leavenworth, Washington, last week. Rabies cases in New Jersey are discussed in the next item. Seattle residents have been cautioned about raccoons who attacked small dogs in the area; even as a coalition of groups is protesting Washington state's spring bear hunt. Polar Bear International is donating $75,000 to Wisconsin to plant trees which can help offset Global Warming; but a Colorado woman who fed bears from her home was evidently killed by one of her ursine visitors. And finally, after perusing the inventory in an Aspen, Colorado, fur store, a black bear decided not to part with his coat!
