An Alaska wildlife official who is the state's point man on bear-human relations is under strict orders to not talk to the press, reports the Anchorage Daily News. Apparently, state biologist Rick Sinnott couldn't hide his rage last week when commenting to a reporter about an incident in which someone dumped the heads and skeletons of 30 salmon in a spot where it could attract bears close to homes. Sinnott was quoted as saying, "I'd like to catch the a--holes who did it and beat the crap out of them."

Christopher Swope was GOVERNING's executive editor.
