Grizzly Debate Tests 1968 Protection Effort
The 17 year campaign to save grizzlies faces renewed scrutiny as critics challenge the 1968 management program in Yellowstone and nearby parks. Alston Chase cites 325 grizzly deaths since 1968, mostly from ranger actions, tranquilizing, and dumped waste. Officials defend progress, noting 185 to 225 bears in Yellowstone and a growing herd near Glacier, with management prioritizing natural behavior over garbage feeding.

Montana Grizzly Hunt Sparks Debate Over Size and Safety
Environmentalists and wildlife managers push to save grizzlies around Yellowstone while hunters kill bears in northwestern Montana. Officials say a limited season helps bears adapt and stay wary of people, with 15 bears allowed but only six shot by hunters this year.

Rhode Island deer castration proposal on Block Island
The Rhode Island Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals proposes castration or neutering by injection for bucks on Block Island as an alternative to hunting. Lionel Hetu says a veterinarian would perform the castrations funded by the society. Island residents report deer damage while the state issues hunting permits allowing up to three deer to be killed. The island lies about 10 miles off Rhode Island with a herd of at least 500 since 1967.
