Manitobans mark first Provincial Hunting Day
Posted by WpgJim on Sunday, September 27, 2009 (14:59:01) (13 reads)
WINNIPEG - Manitobans celebrated Provincial Hunting Day today in Whittier Park by learning about wildlife conservation and how to cook wild game.
Earlier this week, the province proclaimed the fourth Saturday in September as Provincial Hunting Day. They day is meant to celebrate the role hunting plays in wildlife management and conservation.
Hunting season is now underway across the province. This year, Manitobans will be able to hunt big game on Sundays, and the requirements for youth hunting mentors have been simplified.
For more information on hunting season dates and bag limits, visit www.gov.mb.ca/conservation.

Research to target wasting disease
Posted by WpgJim on Thursday, June 18, 2009 (13:14:29) (23 reads)
A researcher at the University of Manitoba is spearheading a first-of-its-kind study into how people are affected by chronic wasting disease.
It is a highly contagious, environmentally transmitted prion disease found in wild animals, particularly deer and elk in Alberta and Saskatchewan.
Prof. Stéphane McLachlan of the Environmental Conservation Lab, Clayton H. Riddell Faculty of Environment, Earth and Resources at U of M, has been awarded $400,000 to research the implications of CWD for people most vulnerable to the adverse impacts of the disease, especially aboriginal communities.
The funding is being provided by PrioNet Canada in an effort to address the health-related risks posed by bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE, commonly known as mad cow disease), CWD and other prion diseases, and to accelerate discoveries in these areas.
The research, co-funded by the Alberta Prion Research Institute, is part of a total infusion of $1.6 million to support three projects, including two additional Alberta-based projects.
"Although no evidence indicates whether or not CWD is transmissible to humans, it may still have severe socioeconomic consequences for hunters, for those in the tourism and nature industries, and especially for aboriginal communities," said McLachlan.
For example, he explained that many aboriginal communities are concerned about contamination and diseases of wildlife and therefore distrust the safety of wild food, which may undermine traditional livelihoods and lead to stress and compromised health.

Conservation officers kill cougar linked to attack on Squamish B.C., girl
Posted by WpgJim on Wednesday, June 17, 2009 (15:01:53) (17 reads)
SQUAMISH, B.C. - A young Squamish, B.C., girl is recovering from a cougar attack near her Howe Sound home and her mom is being hailed for saving the little girl.
A neighbour says three-year-old Maya was jumped by the adult, male cougar as she picked berries with her mother early Tuesday evening.
Wade Rowland drove Maya's mother to the hospital where the girl is expected to make a full recovery from several scratches and puncture wounds.
He says the mother reacted instinctively when she saw the cat pounce, pulling the cougar off her daughter and hurling it aside before grabbing the child and getting away.
Conservation officers tracked a male cougar and shot it late Tuesday night.
A necropsy is planned and DNA samples will be taken to confirm it was the cat involved and also to help determine why the attack occurred.

Bear cub spotted with head stuck in feeder
Posted by WpgJim on Thursday, June 11, 2009 (16:37:20) (16 reads)
GRANTSBURG, Wis. - It was no honey pot like in "Winnie the Pooh" but a bear cub in Wisconsin was spotted with a bird feeder stuck on its head.
A landowner in the northwestern part of the state told the state Department of Natural Resources about the cub over Memorial Day weekend.
But the mother was so protective that DNR officers couldn't get near the cub, who was still able to climb a tree.
When the Department of Natural Resources set out a live trap this week, it caught both the cub and the mom. The feeder was found in pieces next to them, possibly chewed apart by the mom.
Both bears were released into the woods.
