Landowners preventing public access to the Pecos River in New Mexico

New Mexico’s top prosecutor is going after landowners who he says are illegally and unconstitutionally depriving the public of access to stretches of one of the state’s most well-known rivers.
The case involving access to the Pecos River is the first brought after the state Supreme Court in 2022 settled a long-simmering dispute over whether boaters and anglers had a right to access streams and rivers that cross private property.

Long Island man indicted in case involving illegal butterfly selling

Birdwing butterflies are among the rarest and largest to grace the planet, their 10-inch (25.4-centimeter) wingspans flapping through the rainforests of Southeast Asia and Australia. Their sheer size can make them hard to miss.
But the U.S. attorney’s office in Brooklyn says Charles Limmer made tens of thousands of dollars over the past year by illegally trafficking flying insects, including endangered birdwings – whose numbers have fallen because of diminishing habitat and illegal poaching.

Video of injured deer sparks calls for animal cruelty charge for Vermont man facing poaching charges

Cell phone video that a game warden said showed a hunter petting an illegally shot and injured deer, and saying “good boy” before killing the animal, has raised calls from wildlife advocates for animal cruelty charges.
But Vermont’s animal cruelty law does not apply to activities regulated by the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department, including hunting and trapping, officials said. The 21-year-old hunter shown in the video is facing a slew of deer poaching and other charges from incidents in October and November of 2022, including hunting while his license was revoked.

Two Georgia children are recovering from injuries after separate attacks by what officials called an “aggressive bobcat.”
The attacks happened last Friday near Winterville, a mostly rural community just east of Athens, according to Oglethorpe County Fire & Rescue. Mae Scoggins tells local news outlets that her 3-year-old niece, Crystal Yamasato, was playing outside around 6:30 p.m. on Friday when the bobcat ran up.
