“A Juneau woman who was cited by Alaska Wildlife Troopers for hindering lawful trapping might have a really good legal defense: She was trying to free an ensnared eagle.”

“The Empire reported Sunday that troopers believe 39-year-old Kathleen K. Adair intentionally sprung several traps that were legally set to catch fur-bearing animals. She was charged with a misdemeanor criminal offense.”
