• Environmental groups ask judge to pause Alaska's bear cull program scheduled for this month (adn.com) — State wildlife managers have been killing bears in remote country between Dillingham and Bethel to boost the struggling Mulchatna caribou herd, and two environmental groups are now asking a judge to halt this year’s cull.
