#kscoGreat News! AB 1788, a bill that would protect California wildlife from the most dangerous rodenticides, was supported by the State Assembly with a vote of 49-16. We are half way there - the bill now heads to the State Senate! More info about this bill here: http://www.clawonline.org/banratpoison

CLAW would like to thank the thousands of Californians who voiced their support for this bill, including the many environmental organizations and advocates who diligently spread the word. We especially want to thank the bill’s author Richard Bloom, co-author Assemblymember Laura Friedman, and bill sponsors Animal Legal Defense Fund, Center for Biological Diversity, and Raptors Are The Solution (RATS).

Owl love you, California! We all love you! ... See MoreSee Less

This is horrible! Kills dog and cats, too. #kscoWe have some sad news to report. 😢 🦁

On March 21, NPS biologists hiked in to the central portion of the mountain range after P-47's GPS collar sent out a mortality signal. They found the three-year-old mountain lion’s remains and noticed he did not have any visible wounds. A necropsy revealed that he may have succumbed to poisoning from anticoagulant rodenticide, commonly known as rat poison. Testing on a sample of his liver showed that he had been exposed to not just one, but SIX different anticoagulant compounds! Internal hemorrhaging was also found in his head and lungs.

Although it’s not known exactly how P-47 ingested the poisons, researchers believe mountain lions are exposed through secondary or tertiary poisoning, meaning that they eat an animal that ate the poisonous bait, such as a ground squirrel, or an animal that ate an animal that consumed the poisonous bait, such as a coyote.

Researchers first marked P-47 when he was around four weeks of age at the den with a tracking device. He was later fitted with a GPS collar in January 2017 when he was 14 months old and weighed 108 pounds. At his last capture in January 2018, he weighed in at exactly 150 pounds, which tied him for the largest among all the mountain lions in the history of the NPS study.

Biologists have documented the presence of anticoagulant rodenticide compounds in 21 out of 22 local mountain lions that they have been tested, including in a three-month-old kitten. 😔 Lab results for P-64, who died a few weeks after the Woolsey Fire, also found six different anticoagulant compounds in his liver.

Ouch! Here in AZ it is really bad and happens quicker than people realize. Both my dogs have booties they wear if we go out for walks. We also only go out in early am or evening when sun is not up and so intense. Their fur is like a hot blanket. It is illegal to take your dog hiking on the trails once it hits 100 here

Here is what to do! Please share!#kscoIt’s so much better for kittens to receive nutrition from their MOM than being bottle fed & we just don’t have enough bottle feeders for all the kittens being found.

Even if Mom is not very friendly she will take advantage of your “hospitality” & stick around if you make her feel “at home”. Set out food & water in a safe & somewhat secluded area where she can eat, sleep & care for babies.

Once the kittens begin eating on their own — about 4 weeks — they can be weaned & removed from Mom, she can be trapped, fixed and returned to continue her job of rodent control & the kittens can be socialized & adopted.

Pleez HELP by caring the CORRECT way! ... See MoreSee Less

This leaves me tearful and speechless, except for GOOD DOG! #kscoThroughout the day yesterday, our deputies and Search & Rescue Team were actively searching in our Foothills Detachment and our Mountain Detachment for a 64 year old man who was missing from the Eatonville area.

The incident began in the early morning hours when the man's wife called 911 to report that her husband, their dog Daisy, and her husband's vehicle were missing from their home. The missing man reportedly often went hiking with his dog, but did not leave a note where he was going and had failed to return home after dark. The man's wife reported finding recent internet searches by her husband for geocaching in the Evans Creek area.

At daybreak, deputies from our Foothills Detachment searched the Evans Creek area by vehicle and on foot but found no sign of the missing man or his vehicle. At the same time, detectives were able to ping the missing man's phone which indicated that it was last used in the Alder Lake area. Our Mountain Detachment deputies and our Air Operations Unit searched the main roads and logging roads surrounding the lake, and at approximately 3:00 p.m. they spotted a vehicle over an embankment in the 49800 block of Mountain Highway.

Search & Rescue Teams responded to the location and set up a high angle rope maneuver to lower themselves down to the vehicle, only to discover that it was not the missing man's vehicle, but instead a stolen truck that apparently had been dumped far off the roadway.

Our deputies continued to search the area and at 4:45 p.m. they located the missing man's vehicle parked along Mashell Prairie Road near Eatonville. Deputies entered the man's vehicle and located a list of geocache locations; our Search & Rescue Team made maps of the locations and set out on foot to each spot to look for the man.

One hour later, the newest member of our Search & Rescue Team heard the sound of a dog barking as he was searching his mapped location. The deputy continued hiking toward the sound of the dog's barking, and spotted a dog matching the description of Daisy up a very steep embankment above the Marshall River. Our deputy hiked another 30 minutes through the thick woods and brush up to the dog's location, where he located the missing man; the victim was deceased from what appears to be injuries sustained during a fall.

The deputy radioed his discovery, and a team of our Search & Rescue deputies and nine volunteers from Tacoma Mountain Rescue hiked to their location. The team set up a rope system to bring the victim down the hillside and he was carried to their vehicles. Animal Control responded to the scene and returned Daisy to her home.

This was a very sad end to a tough search, but we are incredibly proud of our deputies and the volunteers efforts to find the missing man and return him to his family. Without the barking of his loyal companion Daisy, we never would have located the missing man. It was amazing. ... See MoreSee Less
