Kenyon: Upper Valley Bear rehabilitator Kilham has a nutty request

by Jim Kenyon Valley News ColumnistNovember 10, 2020

One of the cubs believed to have belonged to the dead bear known as Mink is seen caught in a trap on North Main Street in West Lebanon, N.H., on Monday, Aug. 30, 2020. It's one of three 8-month-old cubs that wildlife officials have been searching for since Mink was found dead in Lebanon on Aug. 25; the other two are still to be found. Mink drew national attention in 2017 when she and three yearlings scavenged for food in neighborhoods less than a mile from the Dartmouth Green, diving into dumpsters and knocking over trash cans. She was set to be euthanized by wildlife officials before New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu intervened. She was found dead Aug. 25 after officials noticed that a tracking collar indicated she had not been moving for several days. Officials initially suspected she was hit by a car but no longer believe that is the case. (Photo courtesy Lebanon Fire Department)

A bear walks near homes on Pasture Lane in West Lebanon on Saturday. Resident Bob Stone said he doesn't think it's the well-known sow named Mink, but another female bear. Multiple bears have been spotted in Upper Valley residential neighborhoods recently, possibly due to the scarcity of food at this time of year. (Bob Stone photograph)
