include:
» Eastern small-footed myotis: Small bats that can roost in “buildings, rock bluffs and turnpike tunnels.” Threatened by shrinking insect populations and loss of habitat.
» Broad-winged hawk: Habitat loss and fragmentation have imperiled this hawk, which prefers dense forests to breed in.
» American mink: Stream channelization and erosion pose major threats to the mink’s habitat.
» Queen snake: The queen snake eats basically one thing: crayfish. The prey has been dying from pollution, and living ones contaminated with mercury can poison the snakes.
» Spotted turtle: Conservation laws often miss this species’ small wetland habitat. Risks also include cars, pollution and the draining of wetlands.
» Northern river otter: Human encroachment and polluted waters have driven this otter from its habitats, which tend to be wooded shorelines.

Hope the State police arrest them. Game laws are governed by the State, not localities. They are in violation of State law.

Leventhal's encounter with the deer and the subsequent easing of deer hunting restricts is going to result in some innocent people getting shot by accident. His hate will lead to more hate.
