LANSING, MI — Beavers, muskrats, rabbits, opossums, weasels and several types of squirrel, including chipmunks, are now legal to trap and kill in Michigan without a permit under recent nuisance wildlife regulation changes.
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) expanded the list of critter species that landowners can kill to prevent property damage during the state Natural Resources Commission meeting on Thursday, May 11 in Lansing.
Acting DNR Director Shannon Lott approved the change under her office’s authority. The commission did not vote or discuss the matter in detail last week.
The goal is to reduce conflicts between humans and animals as more Michigan farm and forestlands fall to development,DNR says…
Panic is developing on Ukrainian social media over reports that during the detonation of an ammunition depot in Khmelnytsky, a large batch of British depleted uranium tank ammunition, which was recently brought in to Ukraine along with Storm Shadow missiles, was also destroyed.
As a result of the huge explosion, particles of depleted uranium may have been dispersed on the territory of the entire Khmelnytsky region.
Reports claim that the background radiation has increased in the area.
Russia sent 21 drones to an army missile silo causing an enormous fireball which injured dozens, as per reports.
The local military administration said on Telegram that “critical infrastructure” had been hit in the May 12 attack.
A spike in gamma radiation was detected around May 12, with emission continuing to rise the following day and remaining at the elevated level thereafter.
Taking into account how little gamma radiation comes from depleted uranium, this spike indicates that the stockpile of depleted uranium munitions was destroyed there.
And so it begins. We introduced these, and other countries followed our lead. We sent spent depleted Uranium reinforced projectiles to Ukraine to use against Russia in our FOURTH major violation of existing treaties. Now? Nuclear Radiation.
From the sad experiences of both Yugoslavia and Iraq, one may conclude that an outbreak of cancer should be expected in the region in the future.
The mushroom-like explosion in Khmelnytskyi struck a depot storing missiles and ammunition, say reports. Ukraine denied Russian reports that the strike caused significant losses to the armed forces.

A 530-pound boar grizzly bear was found dead near Newton Creek Picnic Site on the morning of May 1. A Cody hunter has been charged with killing the animal.
The grizzly bear found dead along the North Fork Highway last week was killed by a Cody area hunter who said he mistook the animal for a black bear, according to court documents.
The hunter, Patrick M. Gogerty, reportedly came forward on May 2 — the day after he reportedly shot the bear, and after the bear’s carcass drew widespread public attention.
“Gogerty should have turned himself in immediately,” North Cody Game Warden Travis Crane wrote in an affidavit included in court records.
Park County Prosecuting Attorney Bryan Skoric charged Gogerty on Thursday with a misdemeanor count of taking a trophy game animal without the proper license or…
Biden thanked the Spanish government after forcing it to again enlarge the NATO anti-ICBM based in Rota, making it a prime frontline target for the looming 40% chance of Nuclear War with Russia. Eliminating Spain with its elite US ‘anti missile missiles’ is a key to the first minutes of the war.
Also with zero consultation the Spanish also agreed to a dump of 1000’s of irregular migrants from the United States to Iberian soil.
Spain also signed the agreement on migration, whereby it will receive up to 6,000 irregular migrants a year who would otherwise tenter the United States illegally. Although the PM Sánchez confirmed the agreement, he did not dare to put figures on it.
Though sure to enrage the Far Right the arrival of more hard-working and entrepreneurial Spanish speaking Latin American immigrants will be a de facto boost to the Spanish economy.
Less acceptable in Spain is the recognition of Moroccan rule over ‘Spanish Sahara’ at US and Israeli bidding. The decision flouts the UN and African Union, and for profit accepts the Moroccan invasion, occupation and genocide of the Sahara.
Morocco’s invasion of the Sahara, now accepted by the US and Spain, is arguably ethically far worse than Russia’s invasion of Donbas which after all has the justification of protecting a besieged ethnic Russian minority.
In the subsequent press conference, Pedro Sánchez highlighted the hospitality of his host, of whom he claimed to be “an example in the defense of democratic values.”
Part of the interest of the Biden Administration in Sánchez consisted in maintaining the keys to current Spanish foreign policy.
Already this year the “socialist” Spanish govt has agreed to switch largely to US LNG fracked gas at up to 3 times the former price before the US imposed anti Russian sanctions. Ironically Spain lost part of its cheap supply of Algerian gas when one pipeline was shut by Algeria in protest at Spanish recognition of Morocco’s Sahara invasion.
“I cannot thank him enough for the important support that he has given to Ukraine,” Biden said during the brief conversation that preceded the meeting, in the Oval Office of the White House.
The topics on the table also dealt with the future involvement of Washington in cleaning up the contaminated land in Palomares (Almería province) as a result of the collision in 1966 of two US bombers carrying thermonuclear weapons. “There is a will to solve the problem” claimed Sanchez,after a mere 59 year delay.
Sánchez, also confirmed more key anti ICBM warships with the deadly expansion of the US naval base in Rota within the cordial framework of wonderful bilateral defense agreements.
Remember the endless media hysterics about COVID being “dangerous to unvaccinated pregnant women”?
A recent report MBRRACE-UK throws doubt on such statements. It covers 2018-2020, so the year of 2020 was a part of the COVID pandemic.
In the UK, in 2020 (before COVID vaccines), only NINE women died from (or with) COVID-19 during pregnancy or up to six weeks after giving birth.
Remember that in 2020, all pregnant women in the UK were unvaccinated. COVID was at its worst in 2020.
COVID was quite rampant in the UK at the time. According to Our World in Data, the UK had 94,194 COVID deaths in 2020. However, only nine deaths out of those involved pregnant women.
ONS reports that England and Wales had 613,936 live births in 2020.
So,
Pregnant women’s COVID deaths (9 total) were less than one in ten thousand overall…
