| A man carefully released a mouse he had captured back into the wild rather than kill only for a hawk to swoop and kill it within seconds. The unfortunate series of events was captured on camera by a friend who witnessed the doomed release. The YouTube clip begins with the man, is not identified, as he takes the mouse to a park in a bin to release it back into the wild. He reaches into the plastic dustbin and tries to coax the small animal out onto the ground covered in patches of snow.

As a young boy, I saved a ground mole from our family cat who was playing with it before the meal began. The little blind monster immediately sunk its front teeth into my finger and it took more than three shakes throw it to the ground. I gave a thumbs up sign to Fluffy continue as before.

Environmentalists in my area put a pen of chickens in a wooded area to determine the presence of some mosquito they were interested in. The next morning they returned to discover feathers and blood. Coyetes ate their experiment the 1st nite.

When my daughter was about 4 we had a problem with mice. We caught one, in one of those humane traps, and released it in our front yard. My daughter watched it scamper towards a bush and get intercepted by a cat.
I paused for a minute clenching my teeth. Luckily, she liked the kitty.
I immediately replace the humane traps with the kill kind.

That´s what he gets for giving the mouse a cute name like "Whiskers." There´s a good reason we didn´t give names to the cattle we raised as beef for the table. Our domestic pets have names, and even they (or we) aren´t immune from the ravages of Mother Nature. Sorry about that. Maybe we need a new law eliminating and/or banning such unfairness.

A couple of decades ago there was a story about a sea otter that had been rescued and nursed back to health, and they took a class of schoolkids down to the ocean to see it be released, and if I remember right the school band was playing and it was a big whoop-te-do. Anyway, the otter got a dozen yards out and an orca snapped it right up.
And that concludes today´s biology lesson, kiddos.

I believe there was a "Third Rock from the Sun" episode where Dick hits a chipmunk. The chipmunk didn´t die and Dick´s life force was to see his complete recovery. When he released it into the wild he was immediately scooped up by an eagle or an owl. Doesn´t make much difference who ate him. It was just nature taking her natural course. The episode was absolutely a hoot. If you have never seen it try to catch it. You will laugh out loud. There is even a reference to "Terms of Endearment" when the munk needs his meds. Funny stuff.

Good for that hawk! Hawks generally raise only one brood of 1-3 offspring per year. Mice can have up to 18 babies every month. Without predators we´d be overwhelmed by the varmints.

I was house-sitting one weekend for a cousin who has a very remote property. The house has tall window walls just right for observing all of the wildlife in the area. One morning I heard a loud thump at the window & went out to find a bird on the back step struggling for breath. I wanted to help but didn´t know what to do for it. While I was standing in the doorway thinking, her big Akita squeezed out the door behind me & swallowed it! I felt bad - but it solved the problem.

ROCHESTER — Starting April 15, New York will have the smallest gun magazine limit in the country, and all signs indicate no gun makers have plans to accommodate it. Gun manufacturers have never had a reason to make a magazine with fewer than 10 rounds, because no state required it until now. And, as far as local gun dealers and the Democrat and Chronicle have been able to determine, there are no manufacturers planning to make seven-round magazines. This means that in less than two months, gun dealers such as Paul Martin, owner of Pro-Gun Services in Victor…

CHICAGO — A federal appeals court won´t reconsider an earlier ruling that Illinois´ concealed carry ban is unconstitutional. A three-judge panel of the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals struck down Illinois´ ban in December and gave lawmakers until June 8 to legalize the concealed carry of firearms. Attorney General Lisa Madigan asked for all 10 judges to review the decision, saying it conflicted with decisions by other federal appellate courts and goes beyond what the U.S. Supreme Court has held. Illinois is the only state in the nation that still has a ban in place.

An armed guard at a Georgia middle school disarmed a student who had opened fire, wounding one person. A student opened fire at his middle school Thursday afternoon, wounding a 14-year-old in the neck before an armed officer working at the school was able to get the gun away, police said. Multiple shots were fired in the courtyard of Price Middle School just south of downtown about 1:50 p.m. and the one boy was hit, Atlanta Police Chief George Turner said. In the aftermath, a teacher received minor cuts, he said.

"You´re next question is, are you going to be arrested? I can´t answer that. It would be up to the officer you encounter. They would have to decide," said Mike Green of the Division of Criminal Justice Services. Some people got very heated with their questions, complaining that law-abiding people are getting punished.

The Rochester Police Department Chief James Sheppard said during a press briefing Wednesday afternoon that two male suspects entered the home at 442 Congress Avenue just after midnight Tuesday morning. (*SNIP*) One of the roommates retrieved his legally-owned AR-15, a semi-automatic rifle, and once confronted, the suspects ran out of the house. The roommates then called 911. AR-15’s are considered assault weapons.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter.

The budget President Barack Obama will submit on April 10 will contain a proposal that would prohibit individuals from accumulating more than $3 million in Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and tax-preferred retirement accounts. According to a White House statement, the Obama administration believes the current rules allow some wealthy individuals "to accumulate many millions of dollars in these accounts, substantially more than is needed to fund reasonable levels of retirement saving." "The budget would limit an individual’s total balance across tax-preferred accounts to an amount sufficient to finance an annuity of not more than $205,000 per
