Bear Shot In London

Increasingly we are seeing animals in the city that one normally associates with the wild. Coyotes are starting to become common, and now it looks like bears as well. In today's London Free Press is a story on a controversy now raging over the shooting of a black bear in the city.

What comes out of the controversy is that we are not ready to deal with what increasingly seems to be a trend.

Facing Cat Hoarding Problem in London

Ian Gillespie of the “London Free Press” reported on an increasing problem in the London area of people taking in far too many cats in their homes than they can possibly look after. It has become quite a headache for the local Humane Society. Part of the problem is the number of cats that are let loose on the street by owners who buy a kitten and then move on either from their jobs or finish school.
