Animal rights group to protest squirrel hunting season
NEW YORK (UPI) — An animal
rights group has scheduled seven candle-
light vigils for Wednesday to protest New
York’s refusal to cut short the squirrel
hunting season, which allegedly leaves
thousands of vulnerable baby rodents
motherless.
But the state Department of
Environmental Conservation, which reg-
ulates hunting, said it will not make any
changes until a study, which starts this
week, is completed.
Michael Markarian, campaign director
for The Fund for Animals, said Monday
that the organization is focusing its efforts
on New York, one of a half-dozen, states
where the start of the hunting season
overlaps with the female squirrel’s nurs-
ing period.
“Squirrels give birth twice a year, and
the second time is in the middle of
August,” Markarian said. “So by Sept.l,
many squirrels are only 1 or 2 weeks old.
They’re deaf until they’re 3 weeks old and
blind until the first month.”
“The hunting season begins when
nursing female squirrels are generally out
foraging for food. They’re killed by sport
hunters and the defenseless babies are
certain to die by starvation, by predators
or by accidents, like falling out of the
nest,” he said.
The fund requested that the
Department of Environmental
Conservation move back the start of sea-
son until Nov. 1.
The group claims that 600,000 squirrels
are killed each year, with 200,000 of them
shot during September and October.
Estimating that 40 percent of those are
nursing females and that each one has
between one and nine children, the fund
said that between 80,000 and 720,000
baby squirrels are orphaned each season.
“We believe New Yorkers will find this
repugnant and unacceptable,” Markarian
said. “Even some hunters don’t realized
the consequences.”
DEC spokesman Ben Marvin said the
agency has no data on the number of
female squirrels killed and the alleged
death of their offspring.
However, the agency will compile
those figures through the first two months
of the 1994-1995 hunting season and
determine whether a policy change is nec-
essary.
Marvin said that until 10 years ago, the
hunting season began in November, but
he could not explain why it had been
changed. Now, with the exception of
Long Island where the season still begins
in November, squirrels are fair game
from Sept. 1 until Feb. 28.
U.S. Senate
nominee Fisher
says Hutchison
dodged Corpus
Christi debate
Austin (UPI) — Democratic U.S.
Senate nominee Richard Fisher
Monday accused Republican Sen. Kay *
Bailey Hutchison of ignoring important a
issues and dodging opportunities to
debate him face-to-face.
Fisher said Hutchison refused to'4
attend a debate last week in Corpus*
Christi sponsored by the American 4
Association of Retired People, and that
she has declined or backed out of the*
other debates scheduled for Sept. 1 and *
Sept. 17. ^
Fisher said, “Hutchison’s campaign
is hopelessly cynical about this election. *
This campaign must not be about t
money. We have so much work to do, so4
many answers to find about crime,
health care, creating jobs and building1
our economy.” J , ?
But Nick Voinis, a spokesman for
Hutchison’s campaign, said in Houston
that Hutchison and Fisher are sched'1
uled to debate and that the senators
“has been speaking about the issues
everywhere she goes.”
Voinis said Hutchison cannot acceptA
every debate invitation that comes l
along because it would conflict with
personal appearances she has already
scheduled across the state. 4
He said, “While Richard Fisher may*
have trouble getting people together,^
we’re not going to inconvenience peo-
ple who have asked her to appear.” 4
Fisher and Hutchison are scheduled *
to face each other Oct. 26 in a Houston
debate sponsored by United We Stand,
America. So far it is their only sched-'
uled joint appearance. i
There is more to it than just
saving cans.

recycled materials by buying
recycled products, you're not
closing the recycling loop.
Don’t let
a good thing
go to waste...
