Local police have noted a disturbing increase in the amount of animals found to have been shot and dumped left to die.Previously, Scripps station WTVF in Nashville reported a?spike in the number of canine thefts in Middle Tennessee that was possibly connected to a local theft ring. Now, rather than just disappearing, the dogs are being killed.One beagle did survive. It was shot in the head and found dumped in a bag. Thankfully, veterinarians in nearby Winchester were able to save the dog.But others were not so lucky. Concerned citizens have sent in photos of dogs found shot and then dumped by the side of the road in a half-dozen middle Tennessee counties."It think it's horrible and we need to figure out why it's happening and who is doing it," said veterinarian Allison Fields at the Hermitage Animal Clinic in Davidson County.The dogs were shot with guns in more rural counties. Now, many wonder if some of them were among the many stolen in recent months."This is a big problem of people taking dogs from people coming into the yard and just snatching them out of yards and just taking them," said Earl Stouzenberger, who lost his dog Leia, earlier this year.Police have been checking for chips in the dead dogs hoping to locate owners."Absolutely, I'm sure they have. Animal Control or police stations will have a scanner," Fields said. But identifying the dogs doesn't solve the riddle of why they were shot and often dumped in public places. To date, no one has been charged or arrested in connection with the dog thefts or killings.Catching those responsible is a long shot. The best and really only line of defense for local pet owners is to keep an eye on them.Investigators say the shootings are difficult to explain. They are asking anyone who witnesses a shooting or has any information to contact a local police station or sheriff's office. 1920

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Members of the Trump administration visited Los Angeles Tuesday to get a firsthand look at the city's sprawling homeless encampments and efforts to control them, while President Donald Trump directed his staff to develop policy options to address the national crisis of people living on the streets.The visit by a delegation from several federal agencies came about two months after the Republican president called the homelessness crisis in Los Angeles, San Francisco and other big cities disgraceful and faulted the "liberal establishment" for the problem.In July, Democratic Mayor Eric Garcetti issued a public invitation for the Republican president to walk the streets with him and see the suffering and squalid conditions. The mayor released a letter to Trump on Tuesday saying he looked forward to working together, but tensions between the White House and officials in heavily Democratic California were also on vivid display.Gov. Gavin Newsom has sparred with the White House routinely, and his office released a statement Tuesday saying the state was ready to discuss serious proposals but Trump "could start by ending his plans to cut food stamps, gut health care for low-income people and scare immigrant families from accessing government services."San Francisco Mayor London Breed said in a statement that the city would welcome assistance from the federal government to build more housing "but simply cracking down on homelessness without providing the housing that people need is not a real solution."Garcetti, too, said he was ready to talk but wrote that "the federal government has woefully underfunded our housing safety net, contributing to homelessness" and slashed funding for new housing."We must put politics aside," he wrote.And at an event Monday in Beverly Hills, sponsored by the website Politico, Garcetti's chief of state and federal affairs, Breelyn Pete, said the city looked forward to explaining its homeless strategy to administration officials but added, "They're just not thoughtful, and quite frankly not smart enough, to know what we're doing."Trump would make an unlikely pairing with the Los Angeles mayor, who comes from a heavily Democratic state recognized as the center of the so-called Trump resistance. Trump lost California to Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election by over 4 million votes.White House spokesman Judd Deere echoed Trump's earlier remarks linking homelessness with liberal policies, saying "the president has taken notice of the homelessness crisis, particularly in cities and states where the liberal policies of overregulation, excessive taxation, and poor public service delivery are combining to dramatically increase poverty and public health risks."Like many big cities, Los Angeles has struggled with homelessness for decades, and the population on the streets has grown despite a robust economy. Filthy, drug-infested encampments line downtown streets, and homeless people often sprawl on the lawn of City Hall, with tents nearby. The mayor says 36,000 people in the city are homeless on any given night.Figures released in June showed a 16% jump in Los Angeles' homeless population over the last year. The jump came after the mayor helped convince voters in 2016 to borrow .2 billion to construct housing for the homeless.The mayor's office said the federal group visited several homelessness projects, including a recently opened shelter.On Tuesday, Sacramento County and the city of Sacramento joined the fight to overturn a federal court ruling barring municipalities from prosecuting homeless people for sleeping on the streets if there are no available shelter beds, The Sacramento Bee reported .The Trump administration provided no specifics on what its national homeless policy would entail.Taylor Griffin, a spokeswoman for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, said, "Homelessness is a challenge to the conscience of our nation and a growing humanitarian crisis for communities across our country. The Trump Administration's heartless policies have only exacerbated the matter." 4077

LOS ANGELES (CNS) - A report released Thursday shows that fewer wild animals have been struck by vehicles in three states during shelter-in-place orders, with the number of mountain lions killed in Southern California and elsewhere in the state declining by more than 50%.Researchers at the UC Davis Road Ecology Center determined that 56% fewer mountain lions were killed in California between the 10 weeks before the stay-at-home orders compared with the 10 weeks after, with the number of large wild animals being killed by vehicles falling 21% from 8.4 per day to 6.6 a day."The reduction in numbers of wildlife killed is surprising, and is a silver lining for both wildlife and people at this difficult time," said Winston Vickers, who directs the California Mountain Lion Project, a program of the Karen C. Drayer Wildlife Health Center in the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine."For Southern California mountain lions, even one lion making it across a road instead of being killed can be very significant for populations like the ones in the Santa Monica or Santa Ana mountain ranges," Vickers said.The UC Davis researchers analyzed traffic and collision data collected from California, Idaho and Maine, which have advanced systems for tracking wildlife-vehicle conflict. The study provides the first evidence that wildlife- vehicle conflict decreased along with reduced vehicle travel during the response to the COVID-19 pandemic, said Road Ecology Center director Fraser Shilling."There is a statistically significant decline in wildlife deaths on highways in all three states following reductions in traffic this spring," Shilling said. "This has not been the case for any of the previous five years for these three states. If anything, there is usually an increase in spring."If it continues, the respite could amount to about 5,700 to 13,000 fewer large mammals being killed each year in the three states, and 50 fewer mountain lion deaths per year in California, he said.The positive impacts noted in the report "are likely to be just the tip of the iceberg of reduced deaths of wildlife on U.S. roads and highways," given the under-reporting of large animals involved in collisions with vehicles and the lack of systematic reporting of smaller animals killed on roads, Shilling wrote.He plans to continue to watch closely for impacts to wildlife given a two-to-three-fold increase in traffic in recent weeks as states reopen their economies.Shilling noted "the clear link between traffic and rates of mountain lion death," and said puma populations must be protected from traffic, especially in Southern California and the Bay Area, to reduce mountain lion mortality.In a unanimous decision in April, the California Fish and Game Commission moved a step closer to protecting six struggling mountain lion populations, including those in the Santa Monica and Santa Ana mountains, under the state's Endangered Species Act.The commission's decision cleared the way for a yearlong review on whether the six populations of mountain lions should be formally protected under the state act, with the act's full protections applying during the yearlong candidacy period.Supporters are seeking "threatened species protection" -- which is designed to protect species that at risk of extinction in the foreseeable future without improved management -- involving the "most imperiled populations" of mountain lions in California, according to Tiffany Yap, a biologist at the Center for Biological Diversity and primary author of the petition.Researchers with the National Park Service, UC Davis and UCLA warn that if enough inbreeding occurs, the Santa Ana population could go extinct within 12 years, and the Santa Monica population within 15 years.The state Department of Fish and Wildlife had recommended the move shortly after P-56, a male mountain lion in the critically endangered Santa Monica population, was killed in January under a state-issued depredation permit by a landowner who had lost livestock to the big cat.Planning and fundraising is underway for a wildlife crossing over the 101 Freeway in the Liberty Canyon area of Agoura Hills that would provide a connection between the small population of mountain lions in the Santa Monica Mountains and the large and genetically diverse populations to the north. 4335

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Southern California Edison said Tuesday its equipment likely sparked one of two ignition points for the massive wildfire that tore through California's central coast last year.Witnesses reported flames near the company's power poles in Ventura County last December and the utility "believes that its equipment was associated with this ignition," Edison said.Dozens of lawsuits allege Edison equipment caused the deadly Thomas Fire, but the statement marked the first time the company made such an acknowledgment.Edison hasn't determined if its equipment started the second ignition point nearly 6 miles (10 kilometers) away.Fire officials declined to comment on Edison's statement because no official cause of the fire has been determined. A multi-agency investigation is continuing.Investigators were looking at "every possibility" ranging from weather to human or even animal factors, and the nearly year-long probe probably won't be completed for another 30 days, Ventura County fire Capt. Stan Ziegler said.The Thomas Fire was the second-largest in California history, scorching 440 square miles (1,140 sq. kilometers) and destroying more than 1,000 buildings in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties. Two people died.A month later, heavy rains fell on hills left bare by the fire, unleashing mudslides that killed 21 and left two missing.Edison's disclosure came as an update to investors but was released publicly to keep communities and customers informed, the company said. 1505
