New Westminster, British Columbia, is having a battle over wildlife living in green spaces within that city, in our first wildlife article today. Wildlife officials in Northern Arizona have been busily vaccinating wildlife, including over 100 skunks, from rabies; but police have reported their second rabid animal in a week, this time it was a skunk; and some residents of Half Moon Bay, California, have reported an increase in skunk sightings on their morning walks. Deer advocates, who were protesting a proposed deer hunting program to cull the herd at a Kansas park, have unveiled an anti-hunting billboard in nearby St. Louis, Missouri; and a trucker in South Dakota was killed when he rolled his rig attempting to avoid deer in the road. A Chicago suburb's residents debate what to do about an overpopulation of deer in their area; but some population control may already be in place as a cougar has been spotted on the outskirts of that metropolis. Arizona's Game and Fish commissioner waded into the debate over what to do about cougars that are impacting the bighorn sheep population in that state. A small black bear gave Canadian runners a fright in the Yukon over the weekend; followed by an update on the bear situation in Colorado. A nature lover from Kansas chronicles his ongoing battle with a mischievous raccoon; and public health officials in Seattle, Washington, warned residents about the danger of raccoon droppings. The seesaw battle over gray wolves in the Great Lakes region of the US has now tipped back in favor of the wolves; but an Op-Ed from Massachusetts argues against using traps on coyotes in the area. Virginia bird-watchers are reporting lots of raptors passing overhead on their way to Central and South America; as are hawk-watchers in New Jersey. And finally, a very interesting BBC documentary provides a window on a hidden world in the Andes, including mountaineering penguins!
