OMAHA, Neb. —
Nebraska Wildlife Rehab said a coyote was found trapped in an illegal snare trap in Omaha.
The animal was rescued from the trap that was described as “a wire loop that tightens around an animal’s neck or leg as they struggle to free themselves.”

Theodore Roosevelt National Park to roundup bison and horses for transfer

MEDORA, N.D. (KFYR) – Theodore Roosevelt National Park says the National Park Service (NPS) will begin rounding up bison and horses on the park to move around 200 bison and 15 horses to Tribal lands or new homes.
The first roundup will be on Oct. 5 to bring around 400 bison to the North Unit corralls. NPS will transfer about 200 bison out of the park, with most going to Tribes.
The second roundup will be on Oct. 18 to bring around 200 horses to the South Unit corrals. Up to 15 horses will be proposed for donation to Tribes and/or nonprofits or auctioned through the General Services Administration.
Both the bison and the horses will be examined for health and population demographics.
Some horses will be fitted with GPS collars for research.
The NPS says the roundups are necessary to make sure the population remains an appropriate size for the park since it is a fenced area.
It says the timing for the roundups is ideal because the cooler weather and the optimal health after a long grazing season will lead to less stress for the animals.
The park will use helicopters for both roundups and says they will work with “livestock veterinarians and subject matter experts to conduct these operations safely and humanely.”
The roundups are not open to the public.

$12,000 fine for illegally hunting moose
Junor returned to a hunting camp on Annie Lake where an agreement was made with a member of a local Indigenous community to attend the kill site and claim the moose was shot under Indigenous harvesting rights
BayToday Staffabout 24 hours ago
Timothy Junor of Echo Bay, east of the Soo, pleaded guilty to unlawfully hunting a bull moose without a licence and was fined $12,000.
On November 3, 2021, conservation officers initiated an investigation after locating a suspicious moose kill site near the Batchawana River in Norberg Township.
The court heard that on October 18, 2021, Junor was hunting for moose in an old forestry cut block. Junor was part of a larger hunting party that was only licenced to hunt calf moose.
Upon entering the cut block, Junor observed two bull moose running along the hillside and fired a round from his rifle at one of the bull moose, killing it.
Junor returned to a hunting camp on Annie Lake where an agreement was made with a member of a local Indigenous community to attend the kill site and claim the moose was shot under Indigenous harvesting rights, thereby covering up the illegal killing of the moose.
Junor returned to the kill site with the Indigenous person, processed the moose, and transported it back to the hunt camp at Annie Lake. The following day, the Indigenous community member transported the moose to a butcher shop in Thessalon where they again claimed that they shot the bull moose under their Indigenous harvesting rights.
Justice of the Peace Sarah Keesmaat heard the case in the Ontario Court of Justice, Sault Ste. Marie, on June 17, 2024.

SPRINGDALE, Ark. — A lawsuit is underway for Tyson Foods, alleging that the poultry processing company is greenwashing consumers.
According to the NRDC (Natural Resource Defense Council), greenwashing is when a company “intentionally deceives the public into believing that it is more environmentally friendly than it actually is.”
The Environmental Working Group (EWG) filed the lawsuit on Sept. 18, 2024. The lawsuit states that Tyson “knowingly capitalizes” on consumers who wish to do less harm to the environment by “advertising in numerous outlets a pledge to achieve ‘net-zero’ climate emissions by 2050 and marketing ‘climate-smart‘ beef.” The lawsuit asks that Tyson be prohibited from continuing to do so.
“Tyson, which produces tremendous volumes of climate-warming emissions at every stage of its industrial meat production process, has no plan to achieve these goals and is taking no meaningful steps to do so,” EWG claims.
Tyson is the world’s second-largest meat processor, according to the lawsuit. EWG offered a Carbon Majors Report from 2016 that states Tyson is among the top five animal protein companies that together, emit more annual greenhouse gas emissions than ExxonMobil, Shell, and BP.
EWG claims that Tyson has not offered a plan that eliminates the immense emissions produced by its company “and has offered no details on how its industrially produced beef is a ‘climate-smart’ choice.” EWG said that even if Tyson had a plan, the company “could not possibly” accomplish this.
“At Tyson’s current enormous scale of production and the offsets required to zero out Tyson’s meat production emissions are both unfathomable and unavailable,” EWG claims.
