We believe the Salt Lake County Council is doing the right thing in moving forward with an ordinance making it illegal in unincorporated communities to leave a dog tied or chained outside for extended periods of time. The penalty -- a maximum $1,000 fine and six months in jail -- seems about right. But the ordinance could use some tweaking before it gets final approval, probably in January.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although the Utah Humane Society helped draft the ordinance and advised that 10 hours should be the maximum amount of time for an animal to be chained, that seems to us an arbitrary number. There could be reasons a dog owner can't get home to let a dog loose for 11 or 12 hours, such as an unusual work schedule or emergency. Counting commute time, even a normal eight-hour job could take a person away from home for more than 10 hours.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What the council should be targeting are the owners who leave their dogs chained outside continuously, without attention and, especially, without proper shelter from the weather. That kind of neglect should constitute a cruelty-to-animals offense, even without a new ordinance specifically addressing the practice of long-term chaining.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still, we don't mean to quibble over the 10-hour rule. The ordinance is needed, if only as a warning that inhumane treatment is unacceptable. It's unlikely the county will have the personnel to prosecute any but the most egregious violations, because county government is so strapped for cash in this recession and revenue is not expected to rebound for some time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dogs are social animals. They crave the interaction of a "pack," and if they're deprived of that contact, research shows they often become aggressive toward humans and other animals. Being restrained on a tether, especially a short one, and left alone for long periods can turn a normally friendly dog into a menace. Their barking and hostile behavior can be unsettling to other people, even if they never get loose to wreak havoc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dog owners have a responsibility to take proper care of their animals, for the sake of both the animal and their neighbors. If an owner cannot provide what a pet needs, whether it be food, shelter or attention, then he or she has no business having a pet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Humane Society takes healthy unwanted pets. There may be another owner who could give that animal the care it deserves. A county ordinance might help persuade such an owner to either give the animal proper care or give it up. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Posted using &lt;a href="http://sharethis.com"&gt;ShareThis&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;!-- begin(Yahoo ad) --&gt;&lt;a href="http://ypn-rss.overture.com/rss/33797/&lt;?php the_ID() ?&gt;/click/"&gt;&lt;img src="http://ypn-rss.overture.com/rss/33797/&lt;?php the_ID() ?&gt;/img/?url=&lt;?php echo urlencode(get_permalink()) ?&gt;&amp;amp;pid=1364366095" alt="Ads by Yahoo!" border="0"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;!-- end(Yahoo ad) --&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14233757-8045392267879895156?l=www.blog.utahoutdoors.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total></item><item><title>Cougar Country -- Ten Tips to Stay Safe</title><link>http://www.blog.utahoutdoors.com/2010/01/cougar-country-ten-tips-to-stay-safe.html</link><author>cris@utahoutdoors.com (Cris Draper)</author><pubDate>Sat, 09 Jan 2010 04:26:39 PST</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14233757.post-2468222652357879034</guid><description>Dave Swenson has patrolled Utah’s backcountry for almost 30 years. &lt;br /&gt;During that time, the veteran wildlife officer has seen a cougar only&lt;br /&gt;five times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And each time, the cougar was running away from him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“It’s very, very rare to see or come in contact with a cougar,”&lt;br /&gt;the Division of Wildlife Resources officer says.  “Cougars usually go&lt;br /&gt;out of their way to avoid people.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Swenson says cougars are also secretive animals.  And they usually come&lt;br /&gt;out only at night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While it’s very rare to see a cougar, if you do see one, it will&lt;br /&gt;probably be in the winter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Deer are the main animal that cougars prey on this time of the&lt;br /&gt;year,” Swenson says.  “In the winter, the snow covers the vegetation&lt;br /&gt;at higher elevations.  That forces the deer to travel to lower&lt;br /&gt;elevations to find food.  And the cougars come right down with them.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tips&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you live in cougar country, Swenson provides the following tips to&lt;br /&gt;lessen the chance that you come in contact with a cougar:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Do not feed wildlife. Feeding wildlife attracts deer and other&lt;br /&gt;animals to your yard that cougars prey on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Do not feed pets outside.  The food could attract cougars to your&lt;br /&gt;yard. And keep your pets indoors at night.  Pets are easy prey for&lt;br /&gt;cougars.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Outdoor lighting and motion-sensitive lighting are a deterrent for&lt;br /&gt;the secretive cougar.  Lights also make cougars that are approaching&lt;br /&gt;your home visible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Keep a close eye on your children when they’re playing outside. &lt;br /&gt;And bring them in before dusk.  That’s when cougars begin to hunt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Make your yard deer-proof. If your landscaping is attractive to deer,&lt;br /&gt;cougars will follow the deer and stay close to your property.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are three things you can do if you encounter a cougar:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Do not run from a cougar.  Running can provoke a prey response in the&lt;br /&gt;cougar, and the cougar may pursue you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Make yourself look intimidating.  Make yourself look big by opening&lt;br /&gt;your jacket, and raising your arms and waving them. Speak loudly and&lt;br /&gt;firmly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- If you have children, pick them up.  Try to pick children up before&lt;br /&gt;the children panic and run.  When you’re picking your children up,&lt;br /&gt;keep an eye on the cougar but avoid making direct eye contact with the&lt;br /&gt;animal.  Try not to bend over too far or turn your back to the cougar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are two things you can do to avoid encountering a cougar in the&lt;br /&gt;first place:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Hike with other people and make noise.  Cougars will not usually&lt;br /&gt;bother groups of people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- If you’re hiking with pets, keep them on a leash and close to your&lt;br /&gt;group.  Roaming pets are open to cougar attacks, or they could irritate&lt;br /&gt;a cougar that’s trying to avoid your group.  A dog on a leash is also&lt;br /&gt;a good warning system that will let you know if a cougar is nearby.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Free brochure&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More tips about how to stay safe in cougar country are available in the&lt;br /&gt;DWR’s “Living in Cougar Country” brochure.

How would you get it certified?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the past, the procedure to get a record fish certified was a little&lt;br /&gt;vague.  But not anymore.  To help anglers, biologists with the Division&lt;br /&gt;of Wildlife Resources have spelled out the requirements on new record&lt;br /&gt;fish application forms.  The forms became available on Jan. 1.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can see the forms and learn the requirements at&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wildlife.utah.gov/dwr/record-fish.html"&gt;www.wildlife.utah.gov/dwr/record-fish.html&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“In addition to explaining the rules better, we also dropped six fish&lt;br /&gt;from the list,” says Drew Cushing, warm water sport fisheries&lt;br /&gt;coordinator for the DWR.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Three nongame fish -- Utah chub, Utah sucker and white sucker -- are&lt;br /&gt;among the six fish that have been dropped from the list.  Two hybrid&lt;br /&gt;trout species that the DWR hasn’t produced in its hatcheries for years&lt;br /&gt;-- brownbow and brake -- have also been dropped.  And albino rainbow&lt;br /&gt;trout, which now fall under the general rainbow trout category, have&lt;br /&gt;also been dropped from the list.&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;“Most states don’t keep records for nongame fish,” Cushing says. &lt;br /&gt;“We decided to drop nongame fish from Utah’s list too.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Endangered June suckers were another reason to drop suckers from the&lt;br /&gt;list.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Many anglers have a difficult time telling the different sucker&lt;br /&gt;species apart,” Cushing says.  “Removing suckers from the list&lt;br /&gt;should reduce the chance that an angler catches an endangered June&lt;br /&gt;sucker and then keep the fish, not realizing he or she has a fish&lt;br /&gt;that’s listed on the federal Endangered Species list.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more information, call the nearest Division of Wildlife Resources&lt;br /&gt;office or the DWR’s Salt Lake City office at (801) 538-4700.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blog.utahoutdoors.com/uploaded_images/ben---tiger-muskie---IMG_1692-783388.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://www.blog.utahoutdoors.com/uploaded_images/ben---tiger-muskie---IMG_1692-783385.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Marc Anderson of Pleasant Grove shows the huge tiger muskie he caught at Pineview Reservoir in 2006.
