A man from Western Pennsylvania is in legal trouble for shooting a buck from a busy Walmart parking lot.

That sounds super dangerous!

Arcangelo "Angelo" Bianco Jr., 40, is going to trial for reckless endangerment and state game charges.

Wildlife conservation officers said that last November, Bianco shot several rounds at a buck in a Walmart parking lot so close to employees that deer blood was splattered on trailers that were being unloaded!!

That's insane! Why was he shooting so near people?? Did he have something personal against the deer?

He continued shooting at the fleeing deer until it died and he later retrieved it from the side of a road nearby.

Pretty sure this guy is gonna lose his gun license and have to pay some serious fines at a minimum!

Check out the video (above) to learn a little more about this crazy hunter guy!

Hunting….we just don't understand it!!!!!

Humane society officials are "relieved" that 11 skinned animals found in Pennsylvania have turned out to be foxes, and not puppies as originally believed.

While it is legal to hunt foxes in Pennsylvania from October to February, hunters usually properly dispose their kills, and this discovery is absolutely appalling.

Another gruesome skinning is under investigation as a large unidentified animal was found skinned with

Sad…this is truly appalling…

A Pennsylvania home was raided by police and officers found a truly disturbing sight.

Dog wardens with state police found over 200 Chihuahuas hoarded into the home, and many of the dogs were sick or dead.

The Chihuahuas were evacuated to the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex and Expo Center in Harrisburg and will be transferred to various shelters.

Vets will evaluate and treat the dogs at the shelters.

Animal hoarding is cruel and vile. We just hope these dogs find happy homes and justice is served.

In Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania the world's most famous groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil, climbed to Gobbler's Knob, ready to predict how far away spring was.

More than 18,000 people arrived to see Phil's prediction.

The Inner Circle is a small group of men who work closely with Phil and they're the ones who pass on his prediction.

The Inner Circle's vice president said:

"Phil's prediction is predicated on what Phil tells our president. Using a chirp and a click and a wink of an eye."

Sounds very magical.

So… what did Phil predict this year?

He saw his shadow! Oh no! Six more weeks of winter!

The entire crowd erupted into boos.

But never fear, even though Phil has been making predictions since 1887 (he looks great for his age) his accuracy is only about 39%.

So let's hope he's wrong and spring is just around the corner!

A woman in Pennsylvania let her dog out one night to go do his business.

She then noticed he was acting strangely.

She said:

"It was dark and at first I couldn't see what it was. Then, I saw two black bears, what looked like a cub and an adult."

She said she saw her 11-year-old dog running at the full grown bear and "swatting at him."

She ran to help her dog, when the adult bear attacked!

She said:

"I was screaming at it to get out of my yard, trying to scare it away. I was so concerned about Otto I didn't even know I was hurt."

She was bleeding from the head from multiple claw wounds.

By the time her husband got outside the bears were gone.

Her injuries are minor.

The dog was taken to the vet and treated for his wounds.

Good thing his brave mama was there to save him.
