Wyoming not apologetic for thwarting wolf plans
Source: The Spokesman-Review By: Ben Neary AP
CHEYENNE, Wyo.- Wyoming remains committed to classifying gray wolves as predators that can be shot on sight across most of the state despite complaints that its position will stop hunting seasons in neighboring Idaho and Montana. U.S. District Judge Donald Molloy of Missoula in August rejected the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s move to turn over wolf management to Idaho and Montana while leaving them listed as an endangered species in Wyoming.
Ironically, Molloy's decision also effectively leaves Wyoming, whose wolf management plan the judge excoriated two years ago, in the position of controlling wolf management in the entire Northern Rockies, at least for now. Wyoming has stubbornly opposed the federal wolf reintroduction effort since it began at Yellowstone National Park in the mid 1990s. But now, unless Wyoming backs off on its plan to declare an open season for wolves in most of the state, the other states won't get to hold the controlled wolf hunts they want to protect livestock and keep their wolf populations steady. And Wyoming is not about to agree to change its plan... Click Here To View The Entire Article Related News - Wolf Killing Set To Expand Despite Endangered Status |

Sarah the research bear had brightly-colored ribbons tied to her radio collar as she wandered the northern Minnesota woods. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources posted pictures of bears wearing collars like Sarah's, warning hunters not to shoot bears. The Minnesota Bear Guides Association asked members to leave the research bears alone.
But none of that mattered. Sarah's dead. Researchers following Sarah at the North American Bear Center in Ely posted their shock at the news on their Facebook page. "We picked up her blood-spotted radio-collar from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources this morning. It had been turned in anonymously"...

Two leopards stray into human habitation, captured
Source: Indian Express
Two leopards strayed into human habitation on the outskirts of Shimla town at different locations on Thursday morning. While one was spotted at Poabo near Bharari, another entered a school campus at Mathauli village near Shoghi. Both were captured by the wildlife department without any injury to them or the public.
High drama prevailed over four hours as wildlife officials tried to capture the injured leopard that had strayed into a kitchen shed, constructed to cook mid-day meal at the school in Mathauli. At least 60 students were in their classes when the cook raised an alarm. The wildlife veterinary expert displayed presence of mind and took help of an animal cage, by locking himself inside it, to go near the kitchen shed to tranquilise the animal. "The cage came to my rescue because as soon as the tranqiliser shot hit the leopard it jumped out of the kitchen shed and pounced directly onto the cage in an attempt to attack me and then in a jiffy vanished into the forest," said Dr Sandeep Rattan....
