Summary

April 1987 Nature Notes warned that uncontrolled dogs threatened pregnant deer, fawns, and snowshoe hares, and urged Beaver Island residents to restrain dogs and drive carefully around wildlife.

Evidence limits

This is a public conservation appeal citing secondary literature, not a local population study or road-kill investigation.
