A wildlife control agent went to the area soon after and caught and killed the fox, taking it to the Maine Health and Environmental Testing Laboratory in Augusta to be tested for rabies, according to Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife spokesman Mark Latti.

Residents of Bath’s South End neighborhood are pushing for the city to cut the number of cruise ships docking in town, arguing it contradicts promises to tackle climate change. “We’re going to commit to reducing carbon emissions by 2050 by 80%, and at the same time, we are encouraging the influx of a great pollution maker in these cruise ships,” said Bath resident Robert McChesney. In October, McChesney led a petition drive, gathering 75 signatures from South End residents.
