Crocodile owners in Saskatchewan will have to say their goodbyes.
Under new provincial captive wildlife rules, the reptiles are among the animals moved onto a list of “overtly dangerous” and illegal creatures that can’t be kept as pets in the province.

By Nov. 30, they and other animals considered dangerous must be shipped out of the province, transferred to a licensed facility like a zoo, or humanely euthanized, said Joann Skilnick, manager of the Ministry of Environment’s wildlife unit.
SHREWSBURY – The former Bonnie Dell Farm, a six-bed, six-bath Colonial at 945 Main St., is on the market for $1 million.
The farmstead was built in 1749 as the home of settler Ross Wyman, who had been born in Woburn.
Wyman is known for having made a gun for his near neighbor and New England militia commander Artemas Ward, who requested a firearm that could “pitch an Englishman over his head.”
Ward eventually became George Washington’s second-in-command. Wyman marched from Shrewsbury as the captain of its 16-man artillery unit that did its part at Lexington and Concord along with more than a hundred others from Shrewsbury.

The City of Regina is warning pet owners of poison in the city’s parks.
It has started its annual gopher extermination program, where poison is placed in burrows to kill the rodents.
Yellow signs that read “gopher control” are set up at any park where the poison has been deployed.
Russell Eirich, the City’s manager of open space services, said pet owners need to keep an eye out for those signs. He said if a dog were to eat the poison or a gopher that had been poisoned, it could get sick or die.
